About this map

Phillips University and the Oil Refinery anchor the eastern landscape of this mid-century Oklahoma industrial and educational hub. The map illustrates a dense concentration of social and civic infrastructure, from the Enid State Sch to numerous neighborhood institutions like Booker Washington Sch, Garfield Sch, and Roosevelt Sch. Transportation networks are heavily represented by the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe and Burlington Northern railroads, which facilitated the movement of grain and oil products from the surrounding plains.

Industrial activity is evident through clusters of Oil Tanks and scattered Oil Wells across the agricultural sections of Union and Patterson townships. To the southeast, the Enid Woodring Municipal Airport serves as a modern landmark near Skeleton Creek. Local landmarks like the Gore Park Armory and the Mennonite Ch in North Enid reflect the specific cultural and military presence in the area during this era of urban expansion.
