About this map

Glenpool and the surrounding rural landscape in the early 1970s reveal a region defined by its industrial roots and dispersed agricultural communities. Numerous Oil Wells and a Pipeline trace the path of energy development across the border of Tulsa and Okmulgee counties. The small settlement of Hectorville serves as a local anchor, centered around the Hectorville Ch, while nearby Liberty Sch and the Snake Creek Ch mark the traditional social centers for area families.

The terrain transitions from the lowlands of Duck Creek and Snake Creek into more varied topography to the west and south. Notable landmarks include the elevations of Dude Ranch Hill and the descriptive Rock Creek Canyon and Hoot Owl Hollow. For researchers, the inclusion of several Oil Well sites and a remote Landing Strip suggests a landscape where cattle ranching and petroleum extraction coexist alongside established homesteads like the Bruner Cem.
