1961 Map of El Dorado

About this map

The Walnut River and its numerous tributaries, including Satchel Creek and Bemis Creek, anchor this detailed look at a mid-century Kansas oil and transportation hub. The massive Oil Refinery on the western edge of El Dorado stands as a central industrial landmark, reflecting the region's petroleum history. To the north and east, large reservoirs like Lake El Dorado and Lake Bluestem dominate the landscape, while the southern terrain is marked by the Old Indian Boundary, providing a clear reference to the area's historical land divisions.
