1968 Map of Tonkawa SE

About this map

The Three Sands Oil Field dominates this late-1960s landscape, illustrating the intensive petroleum extraction industry along the Kay and Noble county line. This survey, based on 1965 aerial photography and field-checked in 1968, documents a rural terrain transitioning toward modern infrastructure, centered on the Okla 15 Interchange and the expanding 4 Lane highway system. While energy production is the primary driver of activity here, older rural foundations remain visible in small communities like Owen and Glenrose.
