About this map

The Osage Indian Reservation Boundary cuts through this early 1960s landscape, marking the transition between Osage and Tulsa counties. The growing community of Skiatook anchors the northeast corner, where the Midland Valley RR runs parallel to the valley. The region's economy is clearly defined by its mineral wealth, with numerous oil wells and the established Krumme Oil Field dotting the terrain.

Rural life is preserved through several family and community landmarks, such as Delaware Ch and the Rock Sch. Significant topographic features include the winding path of Hominy Creek and the heights of Black Dog. For genealogists, the map is particularly valuable for its documentation of local burial grounds, including Captain Cem, Osage Gardens Cem, and Sperry Cem, which sit scattered among the creek bottoms and rising ridges.
