About this map

Kildare and the surrounding townships in Kay County are defined by a mix of agricultural land and industrial energy development during the late 1960s. The northern reaches of Ponca City extend onto this sheet, where suburban growth meets the recreational waters of West Lake Ponca and Lake Ponca Park. Central to the area’s economic identity is the Northwest Kildare Oil and Gas Field, marked by numerous well sites.

Transport and social infrastructure follow established corridors, with the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroad cutting diagonally across the landscape. Local life is anchored by traditional landmarks such as the Pleasant View Ch and Pleasant View Sch, alongside more contemporary features like the Newkirk Country Club Lake. The drainage systems of Bois d'Arc Creek and Turkey Creek provide the primary relief to the terrain between the primary settlements of Newkirk and Kildare.
