1955 Map of Sperry

About this map

The Bird Creek valley north of Tulsa defines this mid-century landscape, where the meandering waterway creates complex landforms like Horseshoe Bend. The map documents a region heavily influenced by the petroleum industry, featuring the extensive Skiatook Oil Field and Owasso Oil Field, marked by numerous oil and gas wells. Settlement patterns are anchored by Skiatook, Sperry, and Turley, with the Texas and Pacific railroad providing the primary transportation corridor through the creek flats.
