1956 Map of Franklin

USGS Topo · Published 1970

About this map

The boundary between Oklahoma and Cleveland counties serves as a focal point for this landscape during a period of significant water infrastructure development. The western reaches are dominated by the Lake Stanley Draper reservoir, supported by a distinctive Aqueduct and Filtration Plant. This era shows the rural character of the area still intact around the settlement of Franklin, defined by a network of local institutions like Union Grove Ch and several country schools. The topographic detail captures the convergence of East Elm Creek and West Elm Creek as they feed into the Little River, while the southeastern corner reveals the northern reaches of Lake Thunderbird. Numerous small landmarks, including a Gas Well and several sandpits, illustrate the local economy and land use before suburban expansion reached this part of the state.
