1963 Map of Oneta

About this map

The Missouri-Kansas-Texas railroad corridor anchors this survey of Wagoner County, crossing through the settlement of Oneta. This 1963 landscape, later updated in 1980, reveals a transitional era for the region as traditional farming and resource extraction met modern infrastructure. Extensive Strip Mines dominate the northwestern terrain, while the construction of the Muskogee Turnpike Road signals the shift toward high-speed regional travel. Rural community life is well-documented through numerous schools and churches, including Oak Grove Sch and Springtown Ch. The map provides a detailed view of local industry through a high density of Oil Wells and the presence of a Substation, illustrating the energy production that shaped the Oklahoma landscape during the mid-20th century. Terrain features like the wide Big Bottom and the winding Adams Creek provide a clear view of the drainage patterns surrounding New Tulsa.
