About this map

Allen Oil Field dominates the central landscape of this survey, illustrating the petroleum-driven economy of the late 1960s where Oil Wells, a Refinery, and the Gulf Pipeline intersect with rural life. The topography is defined by the winding paths of the Canadian River and Little River, which carve through timbered hills like Osage Hill and Little River Hill.

A fascinating historical layer is visible in the Old Indian Treaty Boundary, which runs north-south across the western portion of the sheet. Rural education and community hubs are well-documented through landmarks such as Greenleaf Sch, McCall Sch, and Greenleaf Cem. Transport networks are equally vital to the area's layout, featuring the Kansas Oklahoma and Gulf and St Louis - San Francisco rail lines that serve the town of Allen and the surrounding tri-county border area.
