1969 Map of Elmore City North

About this map

Lindsay Oil Field dominates the northern landscape of this Oklahoma quadrangle, where a dense network of wells and service roads overlays the natural drainage of Rush Creek. The map records a critical period of mid-century petroleum infrastructure, featuring a central Refinery and a nearby Substation north of the growing settlement of Elmore City. This industrial presence contrasts with the older rural landmarks of the region, such as the small community of Antioch and the Antioch Cem. Moving south and west, the terrain becomes more varied as it rises toward Table Hill. The hydrological landscape is defined by the winding paths of Honey Creek and the bifurcated branches of West Rock Creek and East Landing Strip Rock Creek, illustrating the transition from the heavy industrial activity of the oil fields to the more open ranching and agricultural lands at the edge of the Whitebead area.
