1963 Map of Claremore

About this map

Claremore serves as a vibrant regional hub in the early 1960s, defined by its complex transportation network where the Missouri Pacific and St Louis - San Francisco railroads intersect. The town's expansion is evident in the development of the Will Rogers Turnpike and the Claremore Interchange, marking the era of increased automotive mobility and the establishment of local icons like the Service Facility Drive-in Theater. To the north, Lake Claremore and its associated Fish Hatchery provide a contrast to the industrial landscape of strip mines and numerous gravel pits scattered across the Oowala and Verdigris Hills districts.
