About this map

Crescent serves as the primary hub of activity in this 1970 landscape, situated at a key intersection of regional transportation and industry. The town's social fabric is anchored by landmarks like St Margaret Mary Ch and Central Ch, while the surrounding Logan County countryside is defined by a dense concentration of petroleum extraction. The East Lovell Oil Field and Northeast Crescent Oil Field dominate the northern terrain, indicated by numerous individual oil well sites that speak to the era's energy production.

Natural and industrial features converge along the Cimarron River corridor to the south. Here, an Oil Refinery and several Sandpits operated near the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroad line, which provided a vital link for moving goods. Recreational and community spaces like the Golf Course, Lake Lattawanna, and Cedar Cove Lake offer a counterpoint to the industrial zones, while historic burial grounds including Knowles Cem and Mt Hope Cem preserve the genealogy of early settlers in the Rose Hill and Woodland districts.
