About this map

Claremore's mid-century expansion is documented in this survey, showing the city's growth around established landmarks like Woodlawn Cem and Lincoln Sch. The landscape is a mix of industrial and civic development, with the Burlington Northern and Missouri Pacific railroads framing the town's western and southern corridors. To the north, the terrain of Oowala is marked by resource extraction, including a prominent Strip Mine and several Gravel Pits near the banks of Dog Creek.

The creation of Lake Claremore and its adjacent Fish Hatchery stands as a focal point for the region's water management, while the Will Rogers Toll Road Turnpike bisects the countryside. Local history is preserved in rural pockets like Sequoyah and Tiawah, and at the Lowrance Ranch in the southeastern quadrant. From the Drive-in Theater to Lantow Field, the map captures the transition from a railroad town to a modern highway-connected hub.
