About this map

Sapulpa and Tulsa anchor this mid-century portrait of northeastern Oklahoma, where the Arkansas River and Turner Turnpike define the region's transport and industrial footprint. The map documents a transition from established urban centers to more rural outposts, evidenced by the clustered settlements of Oakhurst, Carbondale, and Prattville. Industrial activity is centered around the Oil Refinery in the northeast, while the St Louis San Francisco RR and Tulsa Sapulpa Union RR lines stitch together the various neighborhoods and outlying districts.

Cultural and community sites are prominently noted, including the Indian Mission and several small rural churches like Little Cussetah Ch and Oak Hill Ch. The landscape varies from the residential blocks of Garden City and Jenks to the elevations of Lookout Mountain and Turkey Mountain Park. Researchers can trace the path of Polecat Creek and Nickel Creek through the terrain, alongside numerous schools ranging from Webster High Sch to the Oakridge Sch.
