About this map

Tyrone serves as the central hub of this High Plains landscape, situated at the intersection of a sprawling energy network and the Chicago Rock Island and Pacific railroad. The 1960s economy of the Oklahoma Panhandle is clearly visible through a dense grid of extraction infrastructure, featuring dozens of sites such as Gas Well 2968 and Gas Well 2944 that pepper the terrain. Industrial footprints are localized at the Refinery near the northern border and the settlement of Fluor to the northeast of the main town.

Beyond the industrial activity, the map preserves local landmarks essential for genealogists and local historians, including the Tyrone Cem and a Roadside Park along the highway. The transit corridor defines the orientation of the area, with the railroad and parallel pipeline routes cutting diagonally through the townships of Pleasant View and Banner, illustrating the region's role as a vital conduit for fuel and freight.
