About this map

The Oklahoma oil landscape of Osage County is clearly defined in this 1932 edition, where oil pumping stations and oil tanks near Burbank and Hickman reveal the industrial footprint of the era. The Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroad threads through the territory, connecting the established town of Fairfax with smaller settlements like Remington and Strohm.

Genealogists can find several rural education sites, including Rock Creek Sch and Little Chief Sch, alongside the prominent St Johns Sch. The southern portion of the map is dominated by the winding course of the Arkansas River and Coal Creek, with local landmarks such as Roan Horse Camp and the Cactus Mine providing specific points of interest for historical researchers. The presence of a Landing Field and Beacon near Threemile Creek highlights the early infrastructure of aviation in this region.
