1963 Map of Avant SE

About this map

Skiatook sits at the northern edge of this survey, a landscape defined by the winding course of Hominy Creek and the significant industrial presence of the Krumme Oil Field. The map reveals a region in transition during the early 1960s, notably documenting the Dam Under Construction that would eventually form Skiatook Lake. This creation of a major reservoir altered the drainage patterns of local tributaries like Quapaw Creek and Lily Pad Lake, signifying a shift from traditional creek-bottom land use to large-scale water management.
