Photograph used for a story in the Daily Oklahoman newspaper. Caption: "About 300 Kingfisher residents slept in churches, schools and the city hall Wednesday night in the aftermath of the county seat's worst flood since 1948. Estimates varied greatly but most observers agreed that 100 city blocks and 400 families were affected in some degree in high water rolling out of Kingfisher and Uncle John's Creeks. Among roads closed are U.S. 81, north of Kingfisher and S.H. 33, to the west. The state route was open for short stretches but high water extended almost four miles from downtown. The overflow was the first since a new bridge and channel for Kingfisher Creek was completed in 1952. Residents, although dismayed that the new routing had not prevented the flood, theorized that many more blocks would have been covered if the channel switch had not been made.........Overnight rainfall totaled 7.5 inches here, and about an inch more 10 miles south, at Okarche. A vehicle was stalled for several hours in the U. S. 81 overpass just south of Okarche, but was removed early Wednesday."

Karen Park, Okla., no doubt has the distinction of being the least populous incorporated area in the United States. No one lives there Few ever have heard of Karen Park and even fewer know the "city" is located in Oklahoma County, right in the middle of the busting Del City-Midwest City area. Census workers counted six persons in Karen Park last year, but apparently they were mistaken. Walk through the town and it's doubtful you'll locate even six rabbits. "We may have been mistaken," one census worker said Thursday. "It's possible we counted people in the area who actually weren't in Karen Park."...Karen Park, is one of 24 incorporated aeas listed in the 1960 census as part of the Oklahoma City standare metropolitan statistical area. These cities and towns include such weel-known areas as Midwest City, Nichols Hills, Edmond, Bethany and Del City. Other incorporated areas have lesser renown. many Oklahoma County residents have never heard of Woodland Park, Valley Brook, Springlake Park Village, Smith Village and Highland Beach…………Sammy Kuntz, a nearby resident, says all the …
