About this map

The western expansion of Enid is documented here through a complex web of industrial and civic infrastructure. The city's growth is anchored by its position as a regional rail hub, where the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe, Burlington Northern, and Chicago Rock Island and Pacific lines converge. Urban development, noted in purple revisions, pushes westward toward Blanton and Jonah, while established civic institutions like St Joseph Sch and Harrison Sch populate the central district.

Beyond the city limits, the Garfield County landscape retains its agrarian character, marked by the lone Banner Ch and drainage systems like Skelton Creek and Ninemile Canyons. Local leisure and utility are represented by the County Fairground, the Drive-in Theater, and Lake Hellums. This 1955 survey, updated in the early 1980s, captures the city during a period of transition as mid-century suburban residential patterns began to overlay the traditional grid.
