Rock Island Depot: (Satellite?)
This shows the mill and the Santa Fe depot, but my reason for capturing this image is the two locomotives in the lower-left corner. Does BNSF have local business other than the refinery to justify a couple of locomotives and a rather big railyard?
Mill: (Satellite)
Refinery: (Satellite)
BNSF Railyard: (Satellite, it still has most of its tracks.)

| Dennis DeBruler commented on Ken's post The RI came in from the south. Where is this depot? I think I found the Santa Fe Depot, https://maps.app.goo.gl/XyKypZdeoMDSMESH6. 1968/70 Ponca City Quad @ 24,000 |
An abandoned mill is on the left and a building that looks like a depot is on the right.

This confirms that the sign painted on the silos is "Robin Hood Flour." So, this was a flour mill.

This looks like a depot, but not the one in Ken's photos.
