1956 Map of Harrah

About this map

Harrah serves as the primary hub on this map, situated where the Chicago Rock Island and Pacific railroad crosses the North Canadian River. The landscape reveals a mix of agricultural and industrial development, characterized by several Oil Wells and a Gravel Pit near the northern boundary. In the southern half, the settlement of Newalla appears along an east-west transportation corridor, while an Old Railroad Grade and several rural churches, including World Bible Ch and Texas Ch, provide clear evidence of the area's mid-century community structure. The map also documents local infrastructure such as a Landing Strip and the McLoud Cem, reflecting the growth and land use patterns across Oklahoma, Pottawatomie, and Cleveland counties before later urban expansion began to reshape the region.
