About this map

Bartlesville serves as the focal point of this 1971 survey, showing a landscape defined by industrial development and institutional growth. The Caney River meanders through the central terrain, bordered by numerous educational facilities like Wesleyan College and Sooner High School. Heavy infrastructure is evident in the rail networks of the Missouri Kansas Texas and Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe lines, which cut through the urban and rural sectors.

South of the main settlement, the smaller community of Matoaka sits near the riverbanks. The map documents several significant local landmarks, including the Memorial Park Cemetery and White Rose Cemetery, which provide essential reference points for genealogists. The presence of multiple Gravel Pits and Quarries along the watercourses highlights the importance of the local aggregate industry during this era of mid-century expansion.
