About this map

The confluence of the Cimarron River and the Arkansas River serves as the focal point for this early twentieth-century portrait of northeastern Oklahoma. Long before the creation of the Keystone Reservoir, the river valleys supported numerous small agricultural and industrial centers. The map documents the indigenous presence at Black Dog (Indian Village) and the booming energy era at Oil City Barnsdall P O.

Railroad connectivity is prominent, with the Missouri Kansas and Texas and Midland Valley lines linking towns like Skiatook, Cleveland, and Hominy. The landscape is dotted with a high density of rural schoolhouses, including Bone Spring School and Javine School, which provided community anchors across the Osage, Tulsa, and Creek county lines. This survey captures the region just as the industrial centers of West Tulsa and Sand Springs began to expand.
