1964 Map of Holyrood NW

About this map

Progress Northwest Oil Field and the Progress Oil Field define the industrial character of this mid-1960s landscape, where oil wells and drill holes are scattered across the central plains. The intersection of Russell, Ellsworth, and Barton counties forms a political boundary that cuts through the drainage basins of Blood Creek and Wolf Creek. In the eastern portion of the map, Holyrood Lake is a prominent water feature near a local Townhall. Evidence of the area's rural social fabric is found in several locations, including the Palacky Cem and a small Cem in the northern section. The map illustrates a transition from the agricultural use of the land to the extraction of resources during this era, with an extensive network of light-duty and unimproved dirt roads connecting these isolated industrial and community sites.
