1957 Map of Tupelo NE

About this map

Muddy Boggy Creek and its complex network of tributaries, including Cedar Creek, Rock Creek, and Black Creek, dominate this rural Oklahoma landscape. The 1957 survey captures a period of active land use in Coal County, with the Diamond Bar Ranch and the small settlement at Sutter serving as primary local landmarks. The terrain is dotted with markers of community life and industry, such as Boiling Springs Ch, Glass Cem, and evidence of resource extraction including a Gravel Pit and an Oil Well. This survey was produced through a collaboration between the Geological Survey and the City of Oklahoma City Department of Public Works, reflecting the importance of water management and rural infrastructure in the mid-century. The map meticulously records the intersection of Jackson, Jefferson, and Haskell townships, providing a clear view of the area's social and natural geography before significant modern development.
