1951 Map of Britton

About this map

Lake Hefner dominates the western half of this 1951 landscape, serving as a massive reservoir just as the suburban expansion of northern Oklahoma City begins to accelerate. To the east, the established community of Britton and the growing residential enclaves of The Village and Nichols Hills showcase the post-war transition from rural oil fields to structured neighborhoods. The map captures a dense network of local education and community infrastructure, including the Casady School, West Nichols Hills School, and the Oklahoma City Country Club.
