About this map

The Arkansas River winds deeply through the borderlands of Kay and Osage Counties in this mid-1930s survey, creating a dramatic landscape defined by sharp meanders like Oxbow Bend. This era reflects a rural society organized around small district schoolhouses, with nearly a dozen named campuses such as Cantwell Sch, Tipton Sch, and Canadian Sch serving the surrounding farming communities. The industrial presence of the region's energy sector is marked by Oil Tanks located near the Santa Fe rail lines, which also connect small trackside settlements like Uncas and Apperson. In the northwestern corner, Chilocco stands near the Kansas border, while the southern reaches feature local landmarks such as Maple Grove Ch and Wildcat Creek. The map provides a detailed view of the early 20th-century road network and the dense system of tributaries, including Beaver Creek and Bear Creek, that feed into the primary river valley.
