1958 Map of Tulsa

About this map

Tulsa anchors the southwestern corner of this Northeast Oklahoma landscape, shown during a period of significant hydroelectric and infrastructure development. The mid-century expansion of water management is evident in the sprawling basins of Oologah Res and Lake O' the Cherokees, which dominate the central and eastern sections. These reservoirs, along with Markham Ferry Reservoir and Fort Gibson Reservoir, reshaped the historical river valleys of the Verdigris River and Neosho River.
