About this map

The Canadian River serves as the primary geographical divider in this mid-1960s landscape, winding between the expanding corporate boundaries of Oklahoma City, Tuttle, and Newcastle. The map reveals a transition from traditional rural land use to early suburban and industrial expansion, marked by a network of sectional roads like Sara Road, Czech Hall Road, and Mustang Road. Local community life is anchored by landmarks such as Snow Hill Ch, the Pentecostal Campground, and Camp Kickapoo.

Industrial and infrastructure development is evident through the presence of the H E Bailey Turnpike Road, several Gravel Pit operations, and a large pipeline corridor. Transportation history is further represented by the St L - SF railroad line and an isolated Landing Strip. The map also details numerous small watercourses including Coal Creek, Worley Creek, and Cow Creek, which drain the varied terrain of the Waldron area.
