About this map

Cimarron Field and its associated heliport anchor this mid-1960s survey of the plains between Yukon and El Reno. The landscape is a transition of expanding municipal boundaries and agricultural roots, where the Oklahoma City corporate limits press westward into Canadian County. The section-line road network, including Richland Road and Cimarron Road, defines the settlement pattern, connecting rural outposts like the Banner Sch and several country churches.

Local history is preserved in the location of the Forehand Cem and the Oklahoma City and Western RR corridor. The drainage of Shell Creek and Mustang Creek provide the primary relief to the prairie, which also features industrial footprints such as a Gravel Pit. The map captures the era when smaller communities like Union City remained distinct from the growing metropolitan reach of the state capital.
