About this map

Oklahoma City and Edmond anchor this mid-1980s landscape, where urban expansion meets a well-developed oil and gas field. The sheet captures a moment when the Arcadia Lake reservoir on the Deep Fork was a primary geographic feature, reshaping the terrain north of Spencer. The area is densely packed with cultural and educational landmarks, including the sprawling campus of Oklahoma Christian College and the Cowboy Hall of Fame near Lincoln Blvd.

Transport and recreation are intertwined, with the Turner Turnpike slicing through the center while older rail lines like the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe persist. Researchers will find numerous family and community burial grounds, such as Memorial Park Cemetery and Kolb Cem, alongside established neighborhoods like Forest Park and recreational hubs like Springlake Park and the Twin Hills Country Club.
