1971 Map of Lake Heyburn

About this map

Lake Heyburn and its sprawling reservoir waters dominate this early 1970s landscape in Creek County, reflecting the mid-century transformation of the Oklahoma terrain for flood control and recreation. The Lake Heyburn State Park surrounds the central water body, where various Recreation Areas, a Gaging Station, and Waterworks indicate a managed aquatic environment. The map captures the meeting of traditional land uses and modern infrastructure, shown by the intersection of the St Louis San Francisco railroad and the Turner Toll Road cutting across the southern half of the quadrangle.
