About this map

Lake Thunderbird and the Little River dominate this Cleveland County landscape, showing the area as it transitioned with the expansion of Oklahoma City's water infrastructure. The map documents the rural character of the region before significant suburban sprawl, centering on the small settlement of Denver. Local genealogy is well-preserved through numerous landmarks like Liberty Ch, Denver Cem, and the Independence Cem.

Evidence of the region's earlier heritage is visible in the Old Indian Boundary cutting through the eastern section. Rural education and community life are marked by the Adair Sch and Falls Sch, while the presence of scattered Oil Wells and a Radio Tower near Fort Hill points to the mid-century industrial and communications footprint. The landscape is also defined by its drainage network, including Dave Blue Creek and Clear Creek, alongside the recreational development at the Boat Ramp.
