1958 Map of Durant

About this map

Durant serves as the focal point of this late 1950s survey of southern Oklahoma, showing a landscape defined by the intersection of major rail lines and the meandering Red River. The region's social history is visible in its numerous rural institutions, including Lee Chapel, Bushnell Ch, and the Booker T Washington Sch. The map records several smaller communities such as Calera, Achille, and Hendrix, while also marking the transition of local infrastructure through labels like the Pirtle Sch (Abandoned) and Cypress Sch (Abandoned).
