1970 Map of Bartlesville SE

About this map

Caney River winds through this landscape at the junction of Washington, Nowata, and Rogers counties, carving a wide valley defined by intricate oxbows and seasonal floodplains. The hydrology of the region is highly documented, featuring the Tyner Dam and a Gaging Station used to monitor the flow of the many tributaries like Hogshooter Creek and Double Creek. The map reflects an era of active resource extraction and water management in the Madison and Talala districts. Local industry is anchored by a Gravel Pit and scattered petroleum infrastructure, including a noted Oil Well near the riverbanks. This 1970s survey captures the rural character of the Oklahoma prairie before modern land-use shifts, preserving the precise locations of small-scale dams and creek systems such as Stick Creek and Rabb Creek.
