Project 180 streetscape renovations installed a series of destination markers throughout downtown Oklahoma City. The destination markers depict an aerial map with a small silver pin that denotes “you are here.” The outer ring of each destination marker highlights a local historic or pop culture event specific to the city. Historical significance: William Couch became the leader of the “Boomer Movement” to open Native American Lands to white settlement after the unexpected death of early prophet David Payne in 1884. Couch, well-known to be a Sooner, was in a long-running dispute with J.C. Adams over his land claim just South of the street that now bears his name. This marker reads: Couch Drive honors William L. Couch a leader in the Boomer Movement to open the Unassigned Lands to settlement and first provisional mayor of Oklahoma City, elected April 26, 1889. Couch was shot by a disgruntled land claimant and died of his wound in April 1890.
