1956 Map of Sand Springs
USGS Topo · Published 1965About this map
The Arkansas River serves as the industrial and geographical spine for this mid-century survey of the Tulsa Metropolitan Area. In Sand Springs, the landscape is defined by the heavy infrastructure of the era, featuring a large oil refinery, various gravel pits, and a network of specialized rail lines including the Sand Springs RR and the St Louis San Francisco RR. North of the river, the Osage Indian Reservation boundary marks a transition into the wooded uplands of Black Dog. Educational and social hubs are densely mapped, from the Booker T Washington Sch and a local orphanage to the Osage Hills Country Club. This document captures the region just as suburban expansion began to press against the established oil fields and rural schools like Shady Grove Sch.
