2010 Map of Newkirk

About this map

Newkirk serves as the primary hub of this Kay County landscape, situated near the southern edge of the survey where a grid of residential streets centers around E 7th St. The area's economic history is defined by extensive energy development, with the Chilocco Oil Field, North Middleton Oil Field, and East Chilocco Oil Field scattered across the plains toward the Kansas border. In the north, the settlement of Chilocco sits near the winding course of Chilocco Creek, while the rural landscape to the west is anchored by Middleton. Significant drainage systems including Bois d'Arc Creek and Spring Creek cut through the section lines, shaping the agricultural layout. Genealogists will find the Newkirk Cemetery clearly marked along E Fork Rd, providing a vital link to the families who established these prairie communities and worked the surrounding oil fields.
