Capturing Purcell from Above
Aerial imagery showcases Purcell's unique landscape and development:
Purcell is the county seat of McClain County, one of the fastest-growing counties in Oklahoma, located south of Norman along the I-35 corridor. The city is known as the "Heart of Oklahoma" and sits at the crossroads of I-35 and Highway 19. Purcell serves as a bedroom community for the OKC metro and Norman, with lower land costs driving residential growth along the I-35 corridor. The city is entirely in uncontrolled airspace, making aerial imaging operations straightforward.
From the I-35 corridor residential subdivisions and the Purcell Public Schools campus improvements to the downtown Main Street revitalization and the McClain County courthouse area renovation, Purcell's construction market is driven by its position as the county seat of one of Oklahoma's fastest-growing counties.
