2010 Map of Kildare

About this map

Kildare serves as a central hub in this section of Kay County, situated in a landscape defined by its agricultural grid and petroleum development. The industrial character of the region is anchored by the Northwest Kildare Oil and Gas Field, which occupies several sections northwest of the town. For genealogists, the map preserves the location of Wolf Creek Cemetery in the northeast and Resthaven Memorial Park Cemetery near the southern boundary, providing essential data for local family histories. Water management is a prominent theme throughout the quadrangle, evidenced by a series of named reservoirs and dams including Schrickram Reservoir and the numbered Oknoname structures. To the south, the northern reaches of Lake Ponca and the neighboring Sky Park indicate areas of recreation and community focus, while Grass Roots Airport suggests the continued importance of small-scale aviation in the rural Oklahoma plains.
