About this map

New Prue stands as the primary settlement in this northern Oklahoma landscape, situated near the expanding reach of Keystone Lake. The area's mid-century character is defined by a dense network of petroleum extraction, with numerous Oil Wells and pipelines crossing the terrain. Extensive energy operations are organized into named zones including the Skiatook Oil Field, East Osage City Oil Field, and Madalene Oil Field.

Water and topography shape the margins of the sheet, from the low-lying Jordan Valley to the drainage of Wildhorse Creek and Boar Creek. A significant detail for researchers is the purple hatching indicating areas planned for submergence, particularly around the northern reaches of Skiatook Lake, reflecting the transformative impact of reservoir projects on the local geography during the 1960s and 1980s. The map also delineates the boundary between Osage County and Pawnee County.
