About this map

The Golden Trend Oil Field and Lindsay Oil Field dominate the central landscape of this mid-1960s survey, reflecting the intensive energy production that defined this region of Oklahoma. The city of Lindsay serves as the primary hub, where the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroad line cuts through town near the Lindsay Municipal Landing Field. Industrial infrastructure is prevalent, including a Refinery and a Power Plant situated along the banks of the Washita River.

South of the main settlement, the community of Erin Springs sits near the winding riverbed, while the rural eastern reaches include the small settlement of Wallville. Local social and commercial markers of the mid-century era are visible, such as the Drive-in Theater in the northern section and the Green Hill Cemetery on the McClain and Garvin County line. The topography is defined by numerous drainages like Bear Creek, Criner Creek, and Happy Hollow Creek which feed into the primary river valley.
