1970 Map of Pryor

About this map

Pryor (Pryor Creek) serves as the clear anchor of this Mayes County landscape, depicted here during a period of established civic growth and industrial development. The city plan is densely detailed, featuring numerous educational institutions such as Roosevelt Sch and Lincoln Sch, alongside landmarks like the Courthouse and the Whitaker State Childrens Home. The Missouri-Kansas-Texas railroad corridor bisects the terrain, running parallel to the meandering course of Pryor Creek. To the south, the landscape shifts toward industrial and utility infrastructure, marked by a Chemical Plant and an Aqueduct system that feeds into the northern reaches of the Fort Gibson Reservoir. This 1970 field-checked survey captures the transition from the concentrated residential grid of the town to the managed water and power resources of the surrounding river valley.
