1956 Map of Collinsville

About this map

Collinsville and Owasso anchor this mid-century survey of the Tulsa Co Rogers Co border, a landscape shaped by coal extraction and early municipal growth. The Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroad runs diagonally through the territory, passing the massive Strip Mine operations that once dominated the western sections. In Collinsville, local life centers on City Hall, Central High Sch, and the nearby Ridgelawn Cem, while the northern reaches are defined by the winding course of the Caney River and the high ground of Sand Ridge. The southern portion of the sheet reveals the early development of Owasso, including Owasso Lake and several family-linked landmarks like Fairview Cem. Between these hubs, the terrain is marked by smaller waterways such as Blackjack Creek and Hobbs Creek, supporting a mix of agricultural land and industrial infrastructure including a Landing Field.
