1955 Map of Jones

About this map

The North Canadian River meanders across this landscape, its path reinforced by a prominent levee system as it passes the settlement of Jones. This area of Oklahoma County showcases the mid-century transition from rural farmsteads and riverside sandpits to organized suburban growth. Transportation is a defining characteristic here, with the Turner Toll Road Turnpike cutting through the northern section and the San Francisco St Louis railroad connecting the local economy. Social and community life are well-documented through landmarks like Rose Hill Sch, Salem Ch, and Mt Moriah Ch, alongside several family and fraternal burial grounds including Chitwood Cem and the Odd Fellows Cem. The presence of Green Pastures and Dunjee High Sch provides specific locational detail for researchers tracing the development of residential and educational centers during this era of Oklahoma's history.
