1925 Map of Norman NO 2

About this map

The University of Oklahoma grounds anchor the southern edge of Norman in the mid-1920s, a period when the town's grid was expanding toward the South Canadian River. This survey captures the region's educational and institutional landscape, highlighting the State Hospital and several rural schoolhouses like White Mound School and New Hope School that served the outlying farming communities. The transport network is defined by the Atchison Topeka & Santa Fe Electric line and State Highway No 4, which link the growing university town to the southern settlement of Noble. Beyond the developed areas, the terrain rises toward Fort Hill and is carved by Dave Blue Creek, showing a transition from the structured urban planning of Norman to the more irregular topography of Cleveland County's river bluffs.
