2012 Map of Ponca City NW

About this map

Autwine sits as a central settlement in this portion of Kay County, surrounded by an agricultural landscape defined by a rigid grid of rural section roads like W Prospect Ave and S R St. The area's economic character is visibly tied to the petroleum industry, evidenced by the extensive Autwine Oil Field, the West Autwine Oil Field, and the Southwest Ponca City Oil Field scattered across the township. Natural drainage for these fields is provided by several named tributaries, including Duck Cr, Cowskin Cr, and Bois d'Arc Cr, which all move toward the Salt Fork Arkansas River in the southwestern corner. This survey illustrates the persistent intersection of Oklahoma's prairie farming traditions with its intensive sub-surface mineral extraction at the start of the 2010s.
