1952 Map of Jenks
USGS Topo · Published 1968About this map
Arkansas River crossings and the expansion of south Tulsa define this mid-century period, capturing the city as it pushed toward the Fry Hills. The survey documents a landscape in transition, where established rural sites like Rentie Grove Ch and the Catholic Cem met the encroaching suburban grid of schools including Holland Hall Sch and Edison High Sch. Industrial activity remains prominent with an oil field and numerous oil wells scattered between Turkey Mountain and the residential growth near La Fortune Park. Further south, the town of Jenks is depicted at the confluence of the river and Polecat Creek, serving as a key local center near the Riverside Airport. This record detail includes the extensive rail infrastructure of the Texas and Pacific RR and the St Louis-San Francisco RR that supported the region's energy and transport economy.
