About this map

The Osage Reserve and the city of Pawhuska serve as the central hub for this 1960 survey, illustrating a landscape defined by petroleum production and tribal history. An extensive Oil Field and numerous oil wells and gas wells pepper the terrain, particularly north and east of the city center. This industrial activity is woven into a community infrastructure that includes the Indian Camp Sch, Lynn Sch, and a Hospital.

Transportation is anchored by a significant rail network, with the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe and Midland Valley railroads intersecting near the confluence of Bird Creek and Clear Creek. To the southeast, the small settlement of Nelagoney sits along the rail line, while local landmarks like the Lookout Cem and the County Fairground reflect the social fabric of Osage County during this mid-century period.
