1916 Map of Claremore

About this map

Claremore and the surrounding prairies of northeast Oklahoma are shown here in the years following statehood, as the region's rail network reached its peak. The landscape is defined by the broad valleys of the Verdigris River and the Arkansas River, which are flanked by several distinct landforms like Claremore Mound and Lipe Mound. This era was characterized by a dense grid of rural education, with dozens of one-room schools such as Snarr School, Eureka School, and Mountain View School serving the farming families of Rogers and Tulsa counties.
