About this map

Bird Creek and Spunky Creek frame the eastern outskirts of Tulsa as the city expanded across the Tulsa and Rogers County line. This mid-century view captures the transition from rural landholdings to suburban development, anchored by the Tulsa International Airport and the smaller Harvey Young Airport. The landscape is a mix of older rail-side settlements like Mingo and Catoosa alongside burgeoning 1950s neighborhoods.

Infrastructure is prominent, from the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe rail lines to the early development along Admiral Place. Local history is preserved through markers like Dick Cemetery, Plainview Church, and a network of schools including East Central High School and Lewis and Clark Jr High. Terrain features like Hooper Hill and Round Mountain overlook the industrial and residential growth spreading toward Lynn Lane.
