About this map

The town of Maramec and the community of Quay anchor this late-1970s landscape, where the agricultural sections of the Burnham and Banner townships are heavily overlaid with energy infrastructure. The map reveals an extensive Oil Field and the more localized Oil Lagoon Field, characterized by numerous individual oil wells scattered across the terrain. This industrial development exists alongside a transit network including the Cimarron Turnpike and the tracks of the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe and Missouri-Kansas-Texas railroads.

A significant historical marker, the Old Indian Treaty Boundary, cuts across the central portion of the map, serving as a reminder of former land divisions in this part of Oklahoma. Local genealogy and community landmarks are well-preserved, including Odd Fellows Cem, Sunrise Cem, and Lawson Cem. Water features such as Maramec Lake and Lagoon Creek drainage systems provide the primary topographic relief in an area otherwise defined by resource extraction and regional transport.
