Introduction

Sayre is the county seat of Beckham County in western Oklahoma, located along the historic U.S. Route 66, and one of the must-pass nodes for exploring the Mother Road. Founded in 1901, the town rose to prominence at the junction of the Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific Railway and Route 66, and still retains a mid-20th century highway town character. With a population of about 4,000, the main street features a Route 66 themed museum, vintage gas stations, and local diners, making it a popular stop for Route 66 road-trippers for photos and supplies. The surrounding landscape is typical Oklahoma Great Plains, with golden wheat fields and straight roads stretching to the horizon in fall, ideal for road trip photographers.
