About this map

The Arkansas River serves as the industrial and geographical anchor of this mid-1950s survey, separating the dense urban and manufacturing grids of Sand Springs and Tulsa from the rugged, oil-rich heights of Black Dog to the north. Extensive Oil Field activity is visible across the northern uplands, marked by numerous wells and tanks that feed into the massive Oil Refinery infrastructure along the riverbank. The rail network, featuring the St Louis San Francisco and Missouri Kansas Texas lines, highlights the area's role as a regional transit hub.
