1956 Map of Collinsville

About this map

Collinsville and Owasso anchor this mid-century portrait of northeastern Oklahoma, a landscape defined by the convergence of the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroad and extensive extractive operations. The map documents the heavy presence of a Strip Mine north of town and a Gravel Pit near Hobbs Creek, illustrating the industrial footprint on the prairie at this time. Local infrastructure is well-defined, from the City Hall and Central High Sch in the center of Collinsville to the outlying Washington Sch.
