1951 Map of Binger

About this map

Sugar Creek and its many tributaries, including Kickapoo Creek and Medicine Creek, carve a complex drainage pattern through Caddo County. This 1951 survey records the agricultural and civic layout of central Oklahoma during the mid-century, centered on the towns of Hinton, Binger, and Lookeba. The landscape is dotted with a dense network of country schools, such as Sickles Sch, Pleasant View Sch, and Oakdale Sch, reflecting a time when rural education was highly localized. The northern edge of the map follows the course of the Canadian River, while the southern reaches highlight landmarks like the Indian Community House and Three-Way Corner. This document provides a clear view of the area's transition from open terrain into the established settlements of Waconda and Sickles townships, preserving the locations of family-named schools and cemeteries like Binger Cem before further consolidation changed the local geography.
