1990 Map of Oklahoma City North

About this map

Oklahoma City and its northern suburbs are shown here in 1990 as the metropolitan area expanded toward Edmond and The Village. The map details a landscape transition from dense urban development to the surrounding agrarian and oil-producing regions. Vital water infrastructure is prominent, including Lake Hefner, Lake Overholser, and the relatively new Lake Arcadia, which regulate the flow of the North Canadian River. To the west, the El Reno Federal Reformatory sits near the crossing of major rail lines.
