1968 Map of Ponca City SE

About this map

White Eagle and the surrounding river bottomlands characterize this late 1960s landscape where the Salt Fork Arkansas River joins the main Arkansas River channel. The area's transport and industrial footprint is defined by the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroad line running through the northwestern section and numerous Oil Wells scattered across the uplands. Settlement patterns are concentrated in smaller communities like West Bressie, East Bressie, and Otoe to the south. The terrain transitions from the broad alluvial plains of Miller to the more prominent elevations of Big Hill in the east. This survey captures a moment of active resource extraction, evidenced by several Quarries and water management features like the Flowing Well and Water Tank near the river junction.
