About this map

The Caney River defines the landscape of this northeastern Oklahoma region, winding through a complex topography of river bottoms and uplands where Rogers, Washington, and Tulsa counties meet. During the late 1950s, the area was characterized by a heavy industrial footprint, specifically the extraction of fossil fuels. Numerous Oil Wells are scattered across the terrain, particularly near Saunders and the Lacy Creek drainage, illustrating the mid-century petroleum economy.
