1966 Map of Cleveland

About this map

Cleveland sits at the heart of this landscape, its urban grid tightly defined by the curving banks of the Arkansas River and the expanding waters of Keystone Lake. This era shows the community at a crossroads of industrial and recreational activity, marked by the presence of a refinery and the Cleveland Municipal Airport. Across the water, the settlement of Osage and the Osage Indian Reservation Boundary emphasize the complex jurisdictional history of the region. The map highlights the area's extraction history through the Boston Oil Field and Lauderdale Field, while several local burial grounds like Woodland Cemetery and Bear Creek Cem provide essential data points for family historians. The purple revisions on this edition track the evolving shoreline of the lake and the development of Osage Point Park, reflecting the mid-century transformation of the river valley.
