About this map

Oklahoma City's mid-1980s urban landscape is defined by its deep integration of civic institutions and transportation infrastructure. The central district is anchored by the State Capitol and the Myriad Convention Center, with the nearby Myriad Gardens providing a landscaped contrast to the dense network of the Santa Fe and Oklahoma Kansas-Texas railroads. Along the North Canadian River, industrial and commercial hubs like the Stockyards and State Fairground sit adjacent to the sweeping path of the Stanley Draper Expressway.

Neighborhood life is documented through numerous schools and community sites, such as Mount Marys Academy and Roosevelt Jr High Sch. Historically significant grounds like Fairlawn Cemetery and Czech Cem offer touchpoints for genealogical research. The south side of the city is marked by residential growth in Shields Heights and Rancho Village, eventually giving way to the massive footprint of the Will Rogers World Airport and the transition into Cleveland County.
