About this map

The Washita River valley serves as the central corridor for this 1980s landscape, where the county seat at Arapaho and the larger trade center of Clinton anchor the region's development. Local government and civic life are concentrated around the Courthouse in Arapaho, while Clinton shows significant growth with its network of neighborhood parks such as McLain Rogers Park and Baker Park. The map documents a transition in Western Oklahoma's transportation history, showing the active rail infrastructure of the Farmrail and the Atchison Topeka and Northern Santa Fe lines.

Energy and agriculture are marked by numerous Gas Wells and the rolling terrain north of the city. The detailed urban layout of Clinton includes local educational landmarks like Nance Sch and the Jr High Sch, alongside the Clinton Municipal Airport to the east. This survey captures a moment of modern municipal organization before late-twentieth-century expansions altered the rural-urban interface along the 4 Lane highway.
