About this map

Sapulpa anchors the northern edge of this landscape, showing a detailed mid-century urban core complete with Washington Sch, Woodlawn Sch, and Bartlett Hospital. As the terrain descends south into the Mounds and Glen Pool areas, the map reveals an extensive network of Oil Wells that fueled the regional economy. This industrial presence is woven between small rural communities like Kiefer and Mounds, where the St Louis San Francisco RR provided a vital corridor for freight and travel.

Local history is preserved through the naming of numerous country schools and churches, such as Lone Star Sch and Picket Chapel. The drainage patterns of Polecat Creek and North Duck Creek dictate the placement of early roads and homesteads. Cultural landmarks like South Heights Cemetery and Twin Mounds Cem offer specific locations for genealogical research, documenting the families who settled this portion of the Oklahoma oil patch.
