About this map

The Kansas Oklahoma and Gulf railroad corridor anchors this late-1950s survey of the Oklahoma prairie, cutting a north-south path through the settlement of Lula. The landscape is a transition of wooded creek bottoms and open upland, defined by the winding course of Leader Creek and Sandy Creek. Cultural landmarks are centered around rural gathering points, notably Rocky Point Ch near the high ground of Rocky Point, and Eubanks Ch further south.

Evidence of the region's petroleum economy appears through scattered Oil Wells, while the presence of several burial grounds, including Lula Cem and Pleasant Grove Cem, provides significant touchpoints for genealogical research. The map also delineates civil boundaries such as Pontotoc Co Coal Co, showing the intersection of local jurisdictions during this era of mid-century agricultural and industrial activity.
