1968 Map of Kildare

Water management and recreation appear prominently near the southern and northern boundaries. In the south, the development of West Lake Ponca and Lake Ponca Park indicates a growing suburban influence from nearby Ponca City. To the north, the Newkirk Country Club Lake and Newkirk Skypark provide a look at local infrastructure supporting the outskirts of Newkirk. The terrain is drained by meandering waterways including Bois d'Arc Creek and Wolf Creek, which dictate the placement of local roads and property boundaries.
