About this map

Sapulpa and Kiefer emerge as industrial hubs in this 1914 survey, which documents the early oil and rail landscape of eastern Oklahoma. The map clearly illustrates the petroleum infrastructure of the era, specifically the clusters of Oil Tanks south of Glenpool. Transportation networks like the St Louis San Francisco and the Midland Valley railroad lines converge here, linking settlements such as Kellyville and Mounds to the broader regional economy.

A dense network of rural infrastructure supports the surrounding townships, including numerous educational sites like Bluebell School, Oakridge School, and Crowson School. The survey also locates several religious centers, such as Grayson Church and St Pauls Church. Notable physical landmarks include Twin Mounds and the winding courses of Polecat Creek and Euchee Creek, which define the local drainage system as it crosses between Creek, Tulsa, and Okmulgee counties.
