About this map

The Wynona Oil Field and surrounding petroleum districts dominate this Osage County landscape, revealing an intensive pattern of energy extraction during the mid-1960s. The town of Wynona serves as the central hub, situated along the Missouri - Kansas - Texas railroad line. To the north, the smaller settlement of Pershing is nearly encircled by the Pershing Oil Field, illustrating how closely residential life and industry were integrated in this region.

Beyond the well-defined grid of the towns, the terrain is marked by numerous oil wells and named exploration zones including the Strike Axe Oil Field and the Bigheart Oil Field. Natural features like Birch Creek and Wooster Mound provide topographical contrast to the industrial landscape. For genealogists and local historians, the inclusion of St Josephs Cem and several family-named creeks such as Saucy Calf Creek and Cochakee Creek offers specific points for tracing local lineage and property history.
