1954 Map of Tulsa

About this map

The University of Tulsa and the expansive Tulsa State Fairground anchor the central eastern landscape of this mid-century Oklahoma city, reflecting its post-war institutional and civic growth. The map details a dense network of neighborhoods defined by their local education centers, including the Booker T Washington High Sch, Bunche Sch, and Carver Jr High Sch. To the north, the recreational and industrial infrastructure is prominent, centered around Mohawk Park, which contains the Zoological Gardens and Lake Yahola, a critical reservoir for the metropolitan area.
