1932 Map of Stroud

About this map

The Oklahoma Indian Territory Boundary runs through the heart of this landscape, marking a historical divide that shaped the local settlement patterns of the early 1930s. Education and community life are anchored by dozens of country schools, including the Sac and Fox Sch and the Union Graded School 1, alongside rural congregations like Henderson Chapel. The topography is defined by the winding course of the Deep Fork Canadian River and its numerous tributaries such as Salt Creek and Deer Creek. Transport and commerce follow the paths of the St Louis San Francisco railroad and the Fort Smith and Western, connecting towns like Paden, Arlington, and Willzetta. This era reflects a transition where early highways like Highway No 66 and Fort Smith Hwy No 62 began to supplement the established rail network.
