1979 Map of Penokee

USGS Topo · Published 1979

About this map

Penokee serves as the primary hub of this High Plains landscape, situated where the Union Pacific railroad tracks parallel the winding course of the South Fork Solomon River. The map captures an era defined by the intersection of traditional agriculture and a sprawling energy economy, evidenced by the numerous Oil Wells and defined Oil Field areas that dot the townships of Gettysburg, Millbrook, and Bryant. Local history is preserved at the Penokee Cem and Brush Creek Cem, while the drainage of the river system is fed by tributaries including Rock Creek, Sand Creek, and Jackson Branch. The landscape shows a clear transition from the river valley to the dissected uplands where resource extraction like Quarries and a Gravel Pit appear alongside the petroleum interests.
