About this map

The Canadian River meanders across this landscape, serving as the boundary between Cleveland and McClain counties during a period of significant postwar growth. To the north, the expanding city of Moore is shown with its residential developments and key community sites like Moore Cemetery and Resthaven Gardens Cemetery. The map captures a transitional era for local infrastructure, highlighting the Southwest Expressway and the H E Bailey Turnpike as they began to redefine regional travel. Evidence of the mid-century energy economy is visible through the Johnson Oil Field and numerous scattered oil wells. Cultural and educational landmarks, including Pleasant Valley School and the Antioch Ch, provide a grounded view of the social fabric near Newcastle and the western edge of the city near Will Rogers World Airport.
