1957 Map of Oklahoma City

About this map

Oklahoma City and its surrounding counties are documented during a period of significant mid-century expansion and infrastructure development. The central urban landscape is dominated by the State Capitol and major educational institutions such as Oklahoma City University and the University of Oklahoma to the south in Norman. This 1:250,000 scale view reveals the sophisticated transportation network of the era, from the path of the Turner Turnpike leading northeast toward Sapulpa and Tulsa to the dense rail corridors of the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe Ry and the St Louis-San Francisco Ry.
