1951 Map of Binger

About this map

Binger and Hinton anchor this mid-century Caddo County landscape, which is defined by a dense network of rural school districts and small agricultural hubs. The terrain transitions from the broad Canadian River valley in the north down through the drainage systems of Sugar Creek and Medicine Creek. This era of Oklahoma history is captured through its social infrastructure, featuring numerous local schoolhouses such as Pleasant View Sch and Moss Grove Sch, alongside community centers like the Indian Community House and Bald Knob Community House. The map records a time when small, independent school districts were still the primary organizers of rural life before widespread consolidation. Navigation for the early aviation era is marked by the Airway Beacon near Lookeba, while localized place names like Three-Way Corner and Lone Mound provide specific reference points for genealogists and local historians tracing mid-century farmsteads and travel routes.
