1952 Map of Jenks

About this map

The Arkansas River serves as the central axis for this early 1950s survey of southern Tulsa County, where the transition from urban industrial centers to rural townships is clearly marked. To the north, the burgeoning residential grids of Tulsa and neighborhoods like Garden City and Highland Park are contrasted by the massive Oil Refinery and numerous Oil Wells that fueled the local economy. The presence of specialized institutions like Apostolic College, Holland Hall Sch, and the Art Museum highlights the area's cultural growth during the post-war era.
