1970 Map of Chelsea

About this map

Chelsea sits at the heart of this landscape, a center of commerce and transport where the Burlington Northern railroad corridor and local highways intersect. The surrounding terrain is heavily defined by extraction and water management, featuring numerous Strip Mines and active Oil Wells that speak to the region's industrial foundations during the late 20th century. To the west, the expansive reach of Oologah Lake and the Chelsea Reservoir dominate the hydrology, while Pryor Creek meanders through the eastern sections.
