1957 Map of Leonard

About this map

The Arkansas River dominates this landscape as it meanders through the boundary lands of Tulsa, Wagoner, and Okmulgee counties. The settlement of Leonard serves as a focal point near the river's bend, supported by the Leonard Sch and nearby agricultural and industrial activity. To the north, the community of Lone Star and the Church of God represent the rural social fabric of the late 1950s. The terrain transitions from the low-lying Kadashan Bottom and Willow Springs into the more elevated Conjada Mountains and Stone Bluff in the south. Transportation and industry are well-defined by the Texas and Pacific railroad line and a landscape dotted with oil and gas wells, reflecting the region's mid-century energy economy. Revisions from 1967 highlight shifts in the river's path and local infrastructure, such as the Strip Mine and Gravel Pit operations.
