About this map

Band Wheel Oil Field and the surrounding petroleum operations dominate this Osage County landscape in the mid-1960s. The map illustrates a region defined by its energy infrastructure, with numerous Oil Wells and named fields like Sunset Oil Field and Bigheart Oil Field scattered across the undulating terrain. This industrial development is interwoven with a dense network of watercourses, most notably the winding Hominy Creek, which features a section of Rapids and is fed by tributaries such as Mahala Creek and Sand Creek.

Transportation and historic boundaries provide further local context. The Missouri - Kansas - Texas RR cuts through the northwest corner, while the landscape is divided into the districts of Hominy and Black Dog. A lone Cem near the center of the sheet offers a point of interest for genealogists tracing family roots in this corner of the Osage Indian Reservation during the height of its mid-century oil production.
