About this map

Jones stands as a central hub in this detailed look at northeastern Oklahoma County during the mid-20th century. The town is situated at a critical crossing where the St Louis San Francisco railroad meets the winding loops of the North Canadian River. To the south, the developing communities of Green Pastures and Choctaw show the post-war expansion of the Oklahoma City periphery, while the northern reaches are dominated by the newly constructed Turner Toll Road.

The map is an essential resource for genealogists, recording numerous family burial sites and rural institutions. Significant landmarks include the Chitwood Cem, Willard Cem, and the Odd Fellows Cem, alongside community anchors like Pleasant Valley Ch and Dungee High Sch. The landscape is a mix of agricultural sections and early industrial features, such as the Sandpit operations and the Filtration Plant near the river.
