1970 Map of Osage Hills

About this map

Harmony Star and the undulating terrain of the Osage Hills define this corner of Northeast Oklahoma during the early 1970s. The map illustrates a transitional landscape where the infrastructure of the Will Rogers Toll Road cuts across the more traditional rural patterns of the Rogers Co and Mayes Co border. Local life is anchored by landmarks such as Union Chapel and Pleasant View Ch, alongside the Osage Sch, serving the surrounding agricultural and industrial interests. Resource extraction and utility management are evident through the presence of a Gravel Pit, an Oil Well, and a Pumping Station. Natural features like Chouteau Creek, Seminole Creek, and Bald Knob provide a topographic framework for researchers tracing family holdings or historical infrastructure like the Aqueduct and various pipelines that traverse the Verdigris and Hogan regions.
