1955 Map of Enid West

About this map

The western half of Enid serves as the focal point of this mid-century survey, illustrating the city's suburban expansion and its deep-rooted rail infrastructure. Three major railroads, the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe, the St Louis San Francisco and Santa Fe, and the Chicago Rock Island and Pacific, converge here, reflecting the importance of this hub to the Oklahoma wheat belt. A purple overprint indicates urban growth as of 1975, showing the westward push of residential streets like Oklahoma Ave and Thompson Ave. Local life is anchored by numerous neighborhood schools such as McKinley Sch and Harrison Sch, along with the County Fairground and a Drive-in Theater on the city's edge. Beyond the city limits, the terrain opens into the agricultural fields of Garland and Banner townships, marked by small settlements like Blanton and Jonah.
