1965 Map of Blanchard

About this map

Blanchard serves as the primary hub in this mid-1960s survey of central Oklahoma, situated at the intersection of a developing road network and the remnants of older transportation corridors. The map records a landscape in transition, where the modern H E Bailey Toll Road Turnpike cuts diagonally across the terrain, contrasting with the Old RR Grade and Old Grade that reflect an earlier era of travel. This region is defined by the drainage of Walnut Creek and its North Fork, which wind through the township divisions of Waldron, Johnson, Vincent, and Goldsby.
