1990 Map of Bristow

About this map

The Cimarron River and Deep Fork define the hydrological character of this central Oklahoma region, where the grid-based settlement pattern of the late 20th century is fully established. Major centers like Bristow, Sapulpa, and Cushing serve as the primary hubs, connected by a network of roads including the Turnpike. This 1990 edition reflects a landscape shaped by both aviation and water management, featuring several landing strips like Cushing Municipal Airport and Stroud Municipal Airport, alongside recreational and utility water bodies such as Heyburn Reservoir and Stroud Lake. Smaller, historic communities including Shamrock, Slick, and Boley are clearly plotted, illustrating the distribution of townships across the borders of Creek, Lincoln, and Okfuskee counties. The presence of the Okmulgee State Wildlife Management Area in the southeast provides a contrast to the surrounding agricultural and urbanized zones.
