About this map

Earlsboro Oil Field defines much of the economic landscape across this portion of Pottawatomie and Seminole counties during the mid-1960s. The petroleum infrastructure, including the East Shawnee Oil Field and Victory Hill Oil Field, is mapped alongside agricultural fence lines and field boundaries. The town of Earlsboro sits near the rail junction where the Chicago Rock Island and Pacific railroad traverses the territory.

Rural community life is anchored by family landmarks and small institutions like South Rock Creek Sch, Neal Cem, and Fairview Ch. The North Canadian River meanders through the northern section, contrasting with the industrial presence of scattered gas wells and gravel pits. This survey captures a specific era of Oklahoma's mid-century energy production, documenting the intersection of resource extraction and established rural settlements like Neal.
