About this map

Tulsa and its western suburbs of Sapulpa, Sand Springs, and Jenks meet in this modern topography defined by the winding course of Polecat Creek. The map documents a complex transition from industrial and urban centers to the rolling hills and creek basins of the Tulsa and Creek County border. A dense network of highways and surface streets, including the Gilcrease Expy, connects established neighborhoods like Red Fork and Carbondale with smaller communities like Oakhurst and Bowden.

Water features are prominent throughout the landscape, from Parthenia Lake and its associated reservoirs to the Fair Oil Company Lake in the southern reaches. Local history is anchored by numerous burial grounds, such as the Old Sapulpa Cem and Clinton Oaks Cem, which provide specific points of interest for genealogical research. The varied terrain is highlighted by Lookout Mtn and the creek systems of Berryhill Cr and Nickel Cr, showing the persistent natural geography amidst decades of suburban growth.
