2012 Map of Newkirk

About this map

Newkirk serves as the focal point of this northern Oklahoma landscape, situated just south of the Kansas border where the plains are etched by the winding paths of Chilocco Cr and Bois d'Arc Cr. The northern reaches of the quadrangle are dominated by the historic grounds of Chilocco, notable for the Chilocco Indian Cem and a dense network of local roads like W Indian Rd. The map reveals a region defined by agricultural heritage and a long history of energy extraction, evidenced by the Chilocco Oil Field, North Middleton Oil Field, and Newkirk Oil Field scattered across the township. Further south, the town of Newkirk is laid out in a precise grid including W 1st St and Kaw Dr, while smaller community landmarks like Washunga Cem and the Grass Root Airport provide specific points of interest for genealogists and local historians.
