1972 Map of Sanders

About this map

The northern reaches of Oologah Lake dominate the southwestern corner of this survey, where the waters meet the confluence of Big Creek and Coal Creek. The landscape transitions from the inundated river valley into the rolling terrain of the Armstrong district, characterized by intermittent drainages like Blue Canyon and Snow Creek. Small-scale settlement patterns are evident near the Sanders locale, supported by community fixtures such as the Twin Bridges Community Center and religious sites like Happy Hill Ch. Local family history is rooted in the land at the Halsell Ranch and documented at Martin Cem. The map also traces the county line between Nowata and Craig Counties, following the meandering path of Big Creek past small industrial markers like a Gravel Pit and scattered Drill Hole locations, reflecting the rural and extractive character of the region during the early 1970s.
