1973 Map of Foraker South

About this map

The Osage Indian Reservation covers the entirety of this 1970s landscape, illustrating a transition from the heavy rail era toward modern ranching and resource extraction. The community of Foraker sits near the northern boundary, while an Old Railroad Grade traces a path through the rolling prairie, marking the footprint of transportation routes that once served the region's cattle and oil industries. Evidence of the petroleum economy is found in scattered Oil Wells and Gas Wells that dot the terrain alongside major drainage systems like Middle Bird Creek and Potato Creek.
