1955 Map of Mingo

About this map

Bird Creek and Mingo Creek define the drainage of this northeastern Oklahoma landscape, where the expanding urban footprint of Tulsa meets established rural communities. This document, revised in the late 1960s, records a transitional period of infrastructure development, most notably the path of the Will Rogers Toll Road Turnpike and the Tulsa International Airport. While industrial activity is evident through numerous quarries and oil wells, the map also captures localized social centers like Plainview Ch and Dick Cem. Significant educational expansion is visible through many named institutions such as East Central High Sch and Foster Jr High Sch. The intersection of heavy rail like the St Louis San Francisco and local roads like Admiral Place illustrates the area's role as a major regional transport hub during the mid-20th century.
