About this map

The industrial and educational hub of Enid is captured here during a period of mid-century growth, marked by the prominent presence of Phillips University and the extensive operations of the local Oil Refinery. The urban grid transitions into the surrounding agricultural landscape of Enid Twp and Union, where the Enid Woodring Municipal Airport serves as a critical transportation link near the Skeleton Creek drainage. Purple photorevisions from the early 1980s document the outward expansion of the city over several decades.

Local civic life is detailed through a dense concentration of neighborhood landmarks, including Longfellow Jr High Sch, Booker Washington Sch, and St Marys Hospital. The map also traces the legacy of transport through the meeting of the Kansas Oklahoma and Texas RR and the Burlington Northern lines, which supported the region's wheat and oil-based economy. Beyond the city limits, rural centers like North Enid and the Mennonite Ch highlight the area's social fabric.
