1958 Map of Lula

About this map

Lula and the surrounding terrain of the Pontotoc and Coal County line are captured in this mid-century survey, which reveals a landscape defined by small rural settlements and an evolving transportation network. The Missouri Pacific rail line cuts through the southern reaches, while the presence of an Old Railroad Grade north of Bois d' Arc Creek points to earlier logistical corridors. Local life is anchored by family and community landmarks such as Lula Cem, Pleasant Grove Cem, and Rocky Point Ch, while the industrial footprint of the era is marked by scattered Oil Wells and an aqueduct project. The drainage of Leader Creek and Sandy Creek shapes the geography, documenting a period when these small Oklahoma outposts served as critical hubs for the local agricultural and extractive economy.
