1956 Map of Sapulpa North

USGS Topo · Published 1983

About this map

The industrial corridor between Tulsa and Sapulpa reveals a landscape defined by petroleum production and mid-century suburban expansion. An extensive Oil Refinery sits along the Arkansas River near Sand Springs, anchoring the region's economy. The terrain transitions from the heights of Lookout Mountain and Turkey Mountain Park down into the valleys of Nickel Creek and Polecat Creek, where small settlements and community landmarks are clustered. Significant local institutions appear throughout the district, including the Indian Mission, Little Cussetah Ch, and St Catherine Sch. This document, based on 1956 data with 1980s updates, captures the growth of neighborhoods like Carbondale and Oakhurst as they filled the gaps between the older rail-connected centers of Jenks and Garden City, driven by the proximity of the Burlington Northern railroad and the burgeoning highway network.
