1955 Map of Sperry

About this map

Bird Creek and Hominy Creek converge in this mid-century landscape, carving a winding path through the borderlands of Osage and Tulsa counties. The area is defined by its transition from agricultural bottomlands to an active energy and industrial corridor, evidenced by numerous oil wells and the Midland Valley railroad line. Small settlements like Skiatook, Sperry, and Turley serve as local hubs, while cultural landmarks like the Drive-in Theater and a Racetrack point to the era's recreational development. Genealogists will find significant value in the distribution of local burial sites, including Skiatook Cem, Charley Cem, Chisholm Cem, and Crown Hill Cemetery, which reflect the long-standing family ties and communities of the region.
