1952 Map of Jenks

About this map

Arkansas River frontage and early industrial expansion define this mid-century survey of the southern reaches of Tulsa and its surroundings. The landscape shows a distinct transition from the dense urban grid and an Oil Refinery in the north to the more open township of Jenks, anchored by the Midland Valley railroad. This era was marked by the presence of numerous small-scale Oil Wells peppered across the hills, while institutional growth is evident in the many scattered schools such as Rentie Grove Sch and Holland Hall Sch.
