1955 Map of Clinton

About this map

Clinton and Anadarko anchor this mid-century portrait of western Oklahoma, where the Washita River and the North Canadian River carve through the plains. The landscape is defined by its transit corridors and water management, featuring the recently established Washita National Wildlife Refuge and large man-made bodies of water like Fort Cobb Reservoir and Foss Reservoir. These reservoirs, along with smaller landmarks such as Clinton Lake, reflect the mid-century push for regional irrigation and flood control in the Red River basin.
