1966 Map of Hominy NE

About this map

Oil wells and extraction sites dominate this mid-century Osage County landscape, organized into established production areas like the Band Wheel Oil Field and Manion Oil Field. The sinuous path of Hominy Creek winds across the lower half of the quadrangle, punctuated by Rapids and eventually feeding into the northern reaches of Skiatook Lake, which is shown with purple photorevisions indicating rising water levels. In the north, the terrain is more sharply defined by Bigheart Canyon and numerous tributary drainages such as Mahala Creek and Sunset Creek. This map documents a period of industrial land use where the oil economy's infrastructure—marked by a network of pipelines and localized fields like the Flesher Oil Field—interfaces with the rural topography of the Black Dog area.
