About this map

The town of Salina and the rural community of Boatman anchor this early 1970s landscape, where the waters of the Neosho River are contained within Lake Hudson. The infrastructure of the era is evident through the presence of the City of Tulsa Water Intake and the Grand River Pumping Station to the north. Social and spiritual life in the surrounding hills is marked by landmarks like Zion Ch, Welch Ch, and Standing Rock Ch.

Transportation history is visible in the transition between active and former routes, with the Missouri-Kansas-Texas line running near quarries while an Old RR Grade follows the shoreline. This period shows a shift toward utility and recreation, seen in the Snowdale Recreation Area and various Quarries, illustrating how the region's topography was utilized for both industry and public leisure following the creation of the reservoir.
