About this map

The Osage Indian Reservation landscape in the early 1970s is defined by a dense network of energy infrastructure and natural drainage. Numerous Oil Fields, Oil Wells, and a prominent Pipeline crisscross the terrain, illustrating the region's industrial focus during this era. This industrial footprint sits atop a dissected landscape of ridges and winding waterways, including the significant Little Hominy Creek and its many tributaries like Turkey Run and Rainbow Creek.

Remote landmarks provide points of interest for local historians, such as the isolated Grave located south of Hellroaring Creek. The topography is marked by named elevations like Phinney Hill and distinct natural features including a series of Falls along the creek beds. Large portions of the quadrangle are designated as Strike Axe and Hominy, reflecting the complex administrative and land-use history of Osage Co. during the latter half of the 20th century.
