About this map

The North Canadian River meanders through the center of this Oklahoma County landscape, its banks defined by levees and neighboring sandpits. The town of Jones serves as a local hub along the St Louis San Francisco River railroad line, which cuts diagonally across the terrain. To the north, the newly constructed Turner Toll Road Turnpike introduces a modern transit corridor through the rural uplands of Springer and Hartzell.

Local life in the mid-1950s is deeply rooted in the small communities and rural tracts such as Green Pastures and Choctaw. Genealogists and historians will find significant value in the documentation of local institutions, including the Rose Hill Sch, Mt Moriah Ch, and Hillard Cem. The map also captures the local industrial footprint, from a western Oil Field to the Filtration Plant and the leisure space at Dunjee Park.
