1965 Map of Pauls Valley

About this map

Pauls Valley serves as a major hub in this mid-1960s study of central Oklahoma, where the G C & S F RY and Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroads follow the winding course of the Washita River. The landscape reveals a heavy reliance on petroleum and mineral extraction, evidenced by the East Pauls Valley Oil Field, the Southeast Pauls Valley Oil Field, and a large Oil Refinery located just south of Wynnewood. Local infrastructure is well-defined, from the Pauls Valley Municipal Airport to the newly established path of Interstate 35. Social history is anchored by numerous institutions, including the State Sch and several neighborhood schools like Parkview Sch and Jefferson Sch. The map also meticulously records local resting places such as Mt Olive Cemetery and Oaklawn Cem, alongside community landmarks like Wacker Park and the local Drive-in Theater.
