1963 Map of Claremore

About this map

Claremore serves as the focal point of this Rogers County survey, showing a landscape defined by the intersection of major transportation routes and the winding path of Dog Creek. The town's expansion is documented through purple photorevision, highlighting new urban growth and facilities such as the Service Facility Drive-in Theater and Will Rogers Jr High Sch. To the northeast, Lake Claremore and its Fish Hatchery dominate the local geography, while the Will Rogers Turnpike carves a straight line across the countryside, crossing the older tracks of the St Louis-San Francisco and Missouri Pacific railroads. Moving south toward the Verdigris Hills, the land transitions into a more rural character marked by the Lowrance Ranch and the small community of Tiawah, where an Aqueduct and numerous oil wells reflect the region's diverse economic reliance on both water management and petroleum extraction.
