About this map

Oklahoma Baptist University anchors the northern edge of this Oklahoma landscape, a region defined by the convergence of major rail lines and the meandering North Canadian River. The map captures a period of urban expansion in the 1960s and 1970s, as indicated by purple revisions showing new residential growth extending beyond the older corporate boundaries of Shawnee. To the south, the Shawnee Indian Sanatorium and Mission Hill Hospital represent significant institutional presence near the Tecumseh corporate boundary.

Transport history is preserved through the paths of the Chicago Rock Island and Pacific and the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroads, which once facilitated the area's industrial movement. Local genealogy and civic history are grounded in numerous neighborhood parks like Rose Garden Park and Will Rogers Park, alongside community landmarks such as St Benedict Cem and the Dunbar Sch. Tecumseh Lake provides a notable water feature south of the primary urban center, while smaller waterways like Squirrel Creek and Lost Creek drain the surrounding townships.
