About this map

The Caney River defines the landscape of this 1959 survey, its winding path accompanied by a significant levee system as it passes through the borderlands of Rogers, Tulsa, and Washington counties. The region shows a transition between traditional agriculture and industrial extraction, characterized by numerous oil wells scattered across the uplands and prominent strip mine operations near the eastern and southern edges.

Settlement is sparse but distinctly marked by community anchors such as Zion Hill Ch and Rabb Creek Ch. Transportation is anchored by the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroad, which cuts through the southern portion near Horsepen Creek. The map documents small locales like Bevan and Saunders, alongside several creek systems including Lacy Creek and Blackjack Creek, providing a detailed record of the rural infrastructure in Northeastern Oklahoma during the late 1950s.
