About this map

The Arkansas River serves as a prominent natural and political boundary in this late 1970s landscape, separating Osage Co and Pawnee Co. Along its northern banks, the Osage Indian Reservation Bdy delineates a territory rich with industrial activity, evidenced by a dense Oil Field and numerous Oil Wells scattered across the hills. The terrain is defined by significant elevations such as Big Hill and Eagle, which overlook a network of waterways including Doga Creek, Big Drum Creek, and Clear Creek.

For those researching local heritage, the presence of the Drake Cem and Ralston Cem provides valuable genealogical anchors. The map also reveals the area's ongoing economic reliance on resource extraction, showing various Quarries and a prominent Pipeline cutting through the Coal Creek region. This survey captures a moment when the Oklahoma interior maintained its dual character of tribal reservation lands and active petroleum production.
