Possibly not hard enough to check your map....
Bartlesville is on the 96th meridian 17 miles south of the Kansas line,
pretty much across the state both N/S and E/W from Lawton/Ft. Sill, where I
too dug many a trail spade hole. I was in artillery training there from
Feb-May 1961 and went on to be chief of section on an 8" Howitzer in
A and B batteries, 4th Howitzer Batallion, 30th Artillery (of which NOBODY
seems to know the current location, not even the 5th Batallion!)
Bartlesville is also 40 miles north of Tulsa and pretty close to the
middle of the country being on both US 75 (Galveston to Winnipeg)
and US 60 (Norfolk to LA). And if you are on the ½ mile where the two
run together it only takes ONE turn to get to my house.
