1957 Map of Leonard

About this map

Arkansas River floods and the fertile Kadashan Bottom dominate this landscape southeast of Tulsa, where the Tulsa, Wagoner, and Okmulgee County lines converge. The settlement of Leonard sits at the foot of the Stone Bluff uplands, positioned along the Texas and Pacific rail line and the base of the Conjada Mountains. In this mid-century period, the area's economy is clearly defined by an extensive Oil and Gas Field and extractive industries, including a Strip Mine and Gravel Pit. Local community life is anchored by rural institutions like White Ch, the Church of God, and Leonard Sch. The complex river morphology is managed by an extensive Levee system, protecting the agricultural flats and infrastructure like the Broken Arrow Waterworks from the shifting channels of the river.
