About this map

Tryon serves as the primary northern hub of this mid-1970s Lincoln County landscape, situated where the Missouri - Kansas - Texas railroad line intersects with local rural routes. The map illustrates a region defined by its energy and transportation history, featuring numerous Oil Wells, a prominent Pipeline, and an Oil Field extending across the central townships. Small rural congregations and their histories are anchored by landmarks like Rock Spring Cem and Pleasant Ridge Ch.

Down in the southern reaches, the drainage patterns of Bellcow Creek and Bellcalf Creek dominate the topography. An Old Railroad Grade provides a distinct archaeological trace of former rail operations in the southwest corner near Anderson, while a quiet Roadside Park sits just north of the rail corridor. This survey documents the transition between traditional agricultural use and the mid-century petroleum industry in central Oklahoma.
