About this map

Shawnee and Tecumseh anchor this 1970s record of Pottawatomie County, where the north-south expansion of residential and industrial areas is visible in purple revision shading. The landscape is defined by the North Canadian River and its tributaries, including Squirrel Creek and Rock Creek. Educational and civic life is well-documented through prominent campuses like St Gregory College and Oklahoma Baptist University, alongside numerous neighborhood schools such as Woodrow Wilson Sch and Franklin Sch.

Transportation corridors including the Chicago Rock Island and Pacific railroad and Interstate 40 reveal the region's connectivity. Specialized facilities like the Shawnee Indian Sanatorium and Mission Hill Hospital highlight the area's role as a regional service hub. For genealogists, the map identifies several burial grounds, including St Benedict Cem and Fairview Cemetery, while recreational spaces like Pulaski Park and Tecumseh Lake show the community's mid-century footprint.
