1986 Map of Oklahoma City SE

About this map

The Canadian River serves as the dividing line between Oklahoma City, Moore, and Newcastle in this mid-1980s landscape of rapid suburban expansion and active resource extraction. Residential growth is visible in the dense clusters of schools like Kingsgate Sch and Plaza Towers Sch, alongside significant local landmarks such as Resthaven Gardens (Cemetery) and the Earlywine Park Golf Course. This era shows a transition where the urban footprint of Oklahoma City begins to merge with its neighbors, yet the land remains defined by the Liberty Oil and Gas Field and scattered Oil Wells. Transportation infrastructure dominates the western half of the sheet, where the Southwest Expressway and the H E Bailey Turnpike Toll Road facilitate movement between the developing towns and the central city.
