About this map

Pawhuska serves as the focal point of this survey, shown at a time of continued petroleum development and civic expansion within the Osage Reserve. The town's layout is defined by its educational and public institutions, including the High Sch, Indian Camp Sch, and the County Fairground to the south. The landscape is heavily marked by the energy industry, with numerous Oil Wells and an extensive Oil Field spanning the hilly terrain of Strike Axe and the surrounding creek valleys.

Transportation infrastructure reflects both active and historical routes, featuring the Missouri Pacific railroad alongside an Old RR Grade that traces the path of former transit. The map records several distinct communities and landmarks such as Indian Camp and Nelagoney, while natural features like Bird Creek and its many tributaries, including Quapaw Creek and Sand Creek, dictate the area's topography.
