1966 Map of Mustang

About this map

Mustang and Wheatland serve as primary anchors in this mid-1960s landscape, positioned south of the North Canadian River and the significant recreational waters of Lake Overholser. The map reveals a region in transition, where established rural communities meet the expanding corporate boundaries of Oklahoma City, Yukon, and Bethany. Infrastructure defines the era, with two major rail lines—the Chicago Rock Island and Pacific and the St Louis - San Francisco—cutting through the terrain, alongside a notable highway section labeled under construction. For local historians, the inclusion of several educational institutions, including Mustang Valley Sch, Western Heights High Sch, and Will Rogers Sch, provides a clear view of the social geography and community centers of the time. The presence of the Pleasant Valley Cem near Wheatland offers a vital point of reference for genealogical research.
