About this map

The town of Tyrone serves as the focal point of this late-1960s survey, situated along the diagonal tracks of the Chicago Rock Island and Pacific railroad. The landscape reflects a mid-century industrial economy heavily rooted in petroleum extraction, evidenced by a dense grid of extraction points including Gas Well 2919 and Gas Well 2932, alongside a prominent Refinery located near the settlement of Fluor.

Tracing the section lines across Pleasant View and Banner townships reveals a structured agricultural and industrial grid. Local history is anchored at the Tyrone Cem, while the presence of a Radio Tower and Sewage Disposal Ponds indicates the infrastructure of the era. The state line between Oklahoma and Kansas creates a northern boundary where Texas County meets Seward County, marked by a simple Roadside Park.
