1991 Map of Elgin

About this map

Lake Ellsworth dominates the western portion of this 1991 survey, its irregular shoreline defined by numerous inlets such as Fulton Arm and Hasenback Arm. The expansion of residential lakeside communities is evident in the developments at Edgewater Park, Cove Acres, and the Lake Ellsworth Addition, which contrast with the older, established core of Elgin to the east. Along the southern border, the map details a significant portion of the Fort Sill Military Reservation, including the Frisco Ridge Airfield and a network of named ponds like Rudd Pond and O'Connell Pond. The local economy of the early 1990s is anchored by the H.E. Bailey Turnpike and marked by numerous Oil Wells and Gas Wells scattered across the landscape, while community heritage is preserved at St Ann Ch and the Elgin Community Cem.
