1967 Map of Stillwater South

About this map

Oklahoma State University dominates the northwestern corner of this map, representing a significant era of institutional growth in Stillwater during the 1960s and 1970s. The urban sprawl of Stillwater is marked by a concentration of civic and educational infrastructure, including Westwood Sch, Lincoln Sch, and the local Courthouse. Moving south, the landscape shifts into the rural petroleum and agricultural lands of Elm Grove and Clayton. This area is defined by industrial extraction at the Lost Creek Oil Field and North Perkins Oil Field, where numerous oil wells are scattered across the terrain. Transportation patterns are anchored by the Stillwater and Southern Railroad and the Old Grade, while natural drainage flows through Stillwater Creek and Lost Creek. Cultural landmarks such as Sunset Memorial Gardens and the Drive-in Theater reflect the mid-century social character of the region.
