. land Oklahoma— Ponca City— wheat, oil, and cattle. The land is its beginning. Because of this land the first men came; be- cause of this land men left their homes and started anew; be- cause of this land Ponca City lies on the map. Looking north of the city we see long, flat land. Looking east we see hilly country covered with trees, large bodies of water and twisting rivers such as the Arkansas. To the west one may see cattle grazing in a pasture, grain elevators, and farm houses dotted across the horizon. South of Ponca City one sees wheat, plowed earth, and modern refineries. Landmarks such as the Pioneer woman and the E. W. AAarland statues stand in the city. The site of the 101 Ranch lies south of Ponca City reminding us of the vast cattle industry once headed by the Miller Brothers. Fossils mark the area near the Camp AAcFadden grounds and old Indian relics and arrowheads are found to the north. This is Ponca City with its land green in summer, white in winter. This is Ponca City. This is home. w i IkLlllUM This is our town as it looks today— a city full of busy, moving people. II
