Cool new storm sewer manhole covers with the City of Tulsa's municipal seal on them reinforce the city's heritage, for those who bother to look at these kinds of things.
The Tulsa seal is pretty cool -- it has an arrowhead for its founding as the new home of the Muscogee Creek Nation after being forcibly relocated after the Trail of Tears. For them, nearby Council Oak was the end of the Trail of Tears.
In the middle of the seal is a rustic T, which looks like it was shaped by the same method as the arrowhead. Together, the arrowhead and the T look like an Indian shaman or person with their arms stretched out.
1898 is above the T because that is the year that the city was incorporated.
To the left of the T is an oil well -- the largest pool of oil, the Glenn Pool, was discovered nearby and made Tulsa the center of the Oklahoma oil industry. To the right of the T are waves, representing the Arkansas River which flows through the city.
At the very top of the seal are 46 stars -- OK was admitted to the Union in 1907, becoming the 46th state.
