I'd love to see if this piece of whimsical cartography exists either in its original poster form or digital, and where.

Have any of you seen this? One day my mom gave me this map which was, in essence, a illustrated, cartoon-type aerial of our city, with landmarks drawn out of scale; i.e; the milk bottle (then marked "Townley's", the milk I drank my first few months in third grade), possible sponsors such as RSVP Answering Services and Triangle A&E, the antenna farm notated as "The Enchanted Antenna Forest" or somesuch, and stuff like that. My copy used to hang proudly on my bedroom wall, until I got tired of it and it was removed in favor of something else, placed on the floor of the closet maybe, and thus shredded in the veritable landfill that boy's rooms often become.

I'd love to see if it's still viewable. Anyone know what I'm talking about?

EDIT: Spelled title wrong

Yes, EXACTLY, only roughly 100 miles to the southwest. :) A quick Google of the company notes that OKC isn't available.

Also, 1978 on that one, wow....lot of history there.

I hope you find it! I remember a map of that sort and would really like to see it again.

I'm pleased to say that I found this map tonight while hunting Goodwill! Framed and everything. A slight fade to the ink, as if it were near a large window or storefront.

I have a laminated copy of one of these for Norman in the mid-90s but not OKC.
