About this map

The town of Piedmont sits at the western edge of this mid-1960s landscape, where Canadian, Kingfisher, Logan, and Oklahoma counties meet. The survey documents the expansion of Oklahoma City corporate boundaries into the rural prairie, encroaching upon established agricultural terrain like Mathewson and Downs. Central to the area’s economy is the West Edmond Oil and Gas Field, which spans the eastern portion of the map with its network of infrastructure.

Evidence of earlier transport is visible in the Old Railroad Grade that cuts across the territory north of Piedmont. Local history and genealogy are anchored by landmarks such as Kansas Cem, Lockridge Cem, and the High Sch. The landscape is drained by several water systems, notably Deer Creek, Soldier Creek, and Cottonwood Creek, which define the topography between the scattered homesteads and industrial gravel pits.
