About this map

The Oklahoma oil economy and local transit networks are clearly visible in this 1970s survey. The town of Kellyville serves as a central hub, situated near the St Louis-San Francisco railroad and the Turner Toll Road. The landscape is densely marked by the petroleum industry, featuring numerous Oil Wells and a sprawling Oil Field that spans the hills between Kellyville and Sapulpa.

Genealogists and local researchers can locate landmarks such as Blue Bell Ch and Felix Cem, which suggest the older community fabric existing alongside these industrial developments. Drainage is defined by Euchee Creek and the meandering Polecat Creek, while the Sapulpa Reservoir and Middle Lake anchor the northern reaches of the quadrangle. These water features, paired with the networks of Pipeline corridors, illustrate how the natural topography was adapted for both municipal and industrial utility.
