1956 Map of Harrah

About this map

The North Canadian River flows across this mid-century landscape where Oklahoma, Lincoln, and Pottawatomie counties meet. Near the northeastern corner, the town of Harrah serves as a local hub along the Chicago Rock Island and Pacific railroad, which parallels the river. The map documents a rural environment in transition, noting both long-standing landmarks like the Indian Meridian road and signs of resource extraction shown by scattered oil wells.
