About this map

The Osage Indian Reservation Boundary cuts through this river-valley landscape where the Arkansas River serves as a dominant geographic and economic artery. Small settlements like Wekiwa sit at the intersection of the river and the St Louis - San Francisco railroad line, reflecting the vital transport networks of mid-century Oklahoma. This 1958 survey, updated with 1967 aerial photography, captures the terrain as the Keystone Reservoir began to influence the regional hydrology, noted in the margin's inundation data.

The uplands are marked by numerous industrial markers, including various Oil Wells and a Quarry, signifying the active extraction economy of the period. A network of creeks, such as Euchee Creek, Delaware Creek, and Sand Creek, drain the textured topography toward the Arkansas bottomlands, while an extensive Pipeline network traverses the hills between the county lines of Osage, Tulsa, and Pawnee.
