1955 Map of Sperry

About this map

Bird Creek and Hominy Creek converge in this mid-century landscape, carving deep meanders across the border of Osage and Tulsa counties. The terrain is heavily defined by the regional energy economy, with dense clusters of oil wells and infrastructure marking the Skiatook Field and Owasso Field. Transportation is anchored by the Midland Valley railroad, which links the established settlements of Skiatook, Sperry, and Turley. Local history is preserved through numerous family and community burial grounds, including the Chisholm, Skybuck, and Charley cemeteries. A specialized view of the era's social and technical landscape is visible through features like the drive-in theater near Cherry Creek and the gaging station at Horseshoe Bend.
