1958 Map of Wekiwa

About this map

The Arkansas River serves as the central artery for this 1950s survey, cutting through the fertile Fisher Bottom at the border of the Osage Indian Reservation Boundary. The landscape is defined by the convergence of heavy industry and rural settlement, where numerous Oil Wells and a Quarry dot the wooded hills surrounding Shell Lake. Transportation is anchored by the dual presence of the Missouri Kansas Texas and St Louis San Francisco railroads, which parallel the river and support the small communities of Wekiwa and Fisher. Genealogists and local historians will find significant detail in the placement of the Fisher Ch and educational landmarks like Anderson Sch and Tanglewood Sch. The map also captures specialized infrastructure like Simms Landing Field, reflecting the area's mid-century development within the Tulsa Metropolitan Area.
