About this map

Shawnee and Tecumseh anchor this survey of central Oklahoma, showing a landscape defined by its institutional and educational foundations. Educational hubs like Oklahoma Baptist University and St Gregory College sit alongside public works and social infrastructure, including the Shawnee Indian Sanatorium and Mission Hill Hospital. The North Canadian River winds through the northwestern corner, while Tecumseh Lake and Squirrel Creek provide natural boundaries to the south.

Urban expansion is evident through purple-shaded revisions from the late 1970s, which overlay the earlier 1960s footprint. The mapping of neighborhoods such as Bethel Acres and rural school sites like Acme Sch and Grove Sch offers a detailed view of Pottawatomie County's development. Transportation networks, including the Chicago Rock Island and Pacific and Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroads, illustrate the region's historical connectivity.
