About this map

The Osage Indian Reservation dominates the eastern half of this landscape, characterized by rolling uplands and the winding courses of the Arkansas River and Caney River. To the west, the flat plains are gridded by an extensive network of roads and rail lines, including the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe RR and the Chicago Rock Island and Pacific RR. These transportation corridors link major agricultural and industrial centers like Enid, Ponca City, and Stillwater.

Resource extraction and federal activity are prominent throughout the region, evidenced by the Naval Reserve Oil Field and the expansive Vance AFB south of Enid. Significant water management projects are visible, such as Keystone Lake near Tulsa and Hulah Lake on the northern border. Cultural and educational landmarks, like the Chilocco Agricultural School near the Kansas line, provide a look into the institutional history of the mid-20th century.
