About this map

Noxie sits along the Missouri - Kansas - Texas line in this early 1970s survey of the Oklahoma-Kansas borderlands. The landscape is defined by the extensive Oil Field operations scattered across the Hickory terrain, marked by numerous Drill Holes and Oil Wells. This industrial character is balanced by established community landmarks such as Steward Cem and Pleasant Valley Ch, which serve the rural population near California Creek.

Transportation and resource extraction dominate the local economy, with the Missouri Pacific railroad running north-south through Elliott. Small-scale aviation is represented by the Jensen Landing Field in the northeast, while the drainage of Opossum Creek and Vinegar Creek carves through the undulating topography. Multiple extraction sites, including a Shale Pit, Quarry, and Gravel Pit, highlight the area's geological utility during this era.
