About this map

Arkansas River oxbows and the dramatic rise of the Conjada Mountains define this mid-century landscape south of Tulsa. The transition from the fertile Kadashan Bottom to the elevated Stone Bluff area reveals a region shaped by both topography and extraction, with numerous oil wells and a Strip Mine dotting the map. The settlement of Leonard serves as a local hub, connected to the wider territory by the Texas and Pacific railroad line.

Local history is preserved through scattered landmarks like Vernon Sch and White Ch, alongside family-named sites such as Simmons Cem. The terrain shifts from the low-lying Willow Springs levee system to the winding courses of Snake Creek and Haikey Creek. This 1957 survey, updated with 1970s photorevisions, documents the rural infrastructure of the era, from the small community at Lone Star to the remote schoolhouses that once served this borderland between Tulsa, Wagoner, and Okmulgee counties.
