1956 Map of Moore

About this map

The city of Moore anchors this 1956 survey, which documents the area's rapid evolution through mid-century photorevisions in 1969 and 1975. The Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroad corridor defines the town's western edge, while expansion is noted along Twelfth Street. The map reveals a landscape transitioning from rural agriculture to suburban utility, marked by scattered Oil Wells and Gas Wells alongside the Little River. To the northeast, the massive Stanley Draper Lake dominates the terrain near smaller water bodies like Kitchen Lake and Mussel Shoals Lake. Local landmarks such as Smith Cem, Hollywood Corners, and the settlement of Clothier provide essential reference points for genealogists and local historians tracking the development of Cleveland County.
