About this map

The Three Sands Oil Field dominates the landscape of this Oklahoma survey, highlighting the intensive petroleum development within the Owen township area. Numerous Oil Wells, pumping stations, and a Gas Field are marked across the terrain, illustrating the region's industrial character during the late 1960s. Transportation infrastructure supports this production, including the C R I & P railroad line and the 4 Lane highway segment near the Okla 15 Interchange.

Local rural life is represented by the Glenrose and White Rock vicinities, where family and community landmarks like Freedom Ch and Prairie View Cem appear alongside several Gravel Pits. A complex network of waterways, including Birds Nest Creek, Bunch Creek, and Skinny Creek, winds through the rolling landscape between the Kay and Noble county lines, providing a natural contrast to the dense network of energy extraction sites.
