1916 Map of Claremore

About this map

Tulsa and its surrounding prairie landscape are documented during a period of rapid development along the Arkansas River. The region is defined by a dense network of early schools such as Eureka School and Midway School, alongside significant landmarks like Claremore Mound and Lipe Mound. This 1913-1914 survey captures the critical role of rail transport in Northeastern Oklahoma, showing the convergence of the St Louis and San Francisco, Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe, and Missouri Kansas and Texas railroads. These lines connect growing agricultural and resource hubs like Collinsville, Skiatook, and Oolagah. Smaller settlements such as Tiawah and Alsuma appear alongside local industry, including the Sawmill operations and the Blue Cut mine, illustrating the early 20th-century economic foundations of Rogers and Tulsa counties.
