1955 Map of Enid East

About this map

The industrial and academic hub of Enid dominates this mid-century Oklahoma landscape, defined by a massive infrastructure of petroleum and rail. Heavy industry centers on the Oil Refinery and extensive Oil Tanks, served by a convergence of the Chicago Rock Island and Pacific, St Louis San Francisco, and Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroads. The map records the city's educational and social institutions, from Phillips University and St Marys Hospital to numerous local schools like Longfellow Jr High Sch and Booker Washington Sch. Beyond the urban core, the rural fringe near North Enid and Shea is dotted with landmarks like the Mennonite Ch and Spring Valley Sch. Significant land use is dedicated to the Enid State Sch and the Woodring Airport, while the landscape is drained by Skeleton Creek and Boggy Creek.
