1986 Map of Britton

About this map

Lake Hefner dominates the western landscape of this mid-1980s suburban study, its eastern shoreline dotted with recreation spots like Stars and Stripes Park and Lakeshore Park. The era's intensive residential growth is visible in the dense street grids of The Village and Nichols Hills, contrasted with the remaining open tracts and numerous oil wells scattered throughout the north and east. The map captures a high concentration of civic and social infrastructure, from the sprawling grounds of the Rose Hill Burial Park to private institutions like the Oklahoma City Country Club and Heritage Hall Sch.
