About this map

Lake Overholser and the Stinchcomb Wildlife Refuge dominate the central landscape of this mid-1990s survey, showing the transition between suburban development and the riparian environment of the North Canadian River. The map documents the growth of Bethany and Warr Acres, particularly around the Wiley Post Airport and academic centers like Bethany College. Institutional landmarks are prominent, including the St. Francis DeSales Seminary and several regional high schools.

Residential expansion is noted through neighborhood schools such as Ranchwood School and Harvest Hills School. Large-scale infrastructure like the Northwest Expressway and extensive corporate boundaries for Oklahoma City illustrate the late-century urban footprint. Local history is preserved in the detailed marking of sites like Spring Creek Memorial Cemetery and Olive Hill Cemetery, alongside specialized facilities like the Childrens Hospital.
