1915 Map of Hominy

About this map

Black Dog (Indian Village) and the busy oil-era settlement of Oil City anchor this portrait of northeast Oklahoma as it transitioned through the early twentieth century. The landscape is defined by the sweeping curves of the Arkansas River and Cimarron River, which meet near the riverfront community of Keystone. This era is marked by a dense network of rural infrastructure, from the St Louis and San Francisco RR lines to a high concentration of country schools such as Brannon School and Sunny Slope School. To the south, Sapulpa emerges as a growing hub, supported by the Sapulpa Reservoir and the Midland Valley RR. The map records a moment when local post offices like Taneha and small junctions like Wekiwa served as critical points of connection for farming and mineral extraction families across Osage and Creek counties.
