1893 Map of Norman

This advance sheet captures the territory before Oklahoma statehood, showing a transition from open prairie to structured town sites. The concentrated grid of Norman in the northwest contrasts with smaller outposts like Denver and Walker. Local waterways such as Walnut Creek and Choto Creek define the drainage patterns of the hilly terrain, while the twin towns of Purcell and Lexington face each other across the river at the southern boundary, marking an important crossing point between territories.
