1961 Map of Antlers West

About this map

The town of Antlers serves as the primary hub in this early 1960s survey of southern Oklahoma, situated where the St Louis San Francisco railroad cuts through the northeastern corner of the quadrangle. The landscape is defined by an intricate network of waterways draining toward the Red River basin, including the uniquely named Dumpling Creek, Charlie Dumpling Creek, and the swampy lowlands of Lamey Slash. This era of documentation reveals a rural community supported by a local Landing Strip and a series of scattered spiritual and memorial sites, such as Sugarloaf Ch, Pierce Ch, and the Edwards Cem. The map provides a precise look at the jurisdictional boundary between PushmaтAha Co and Choctaw Co, following the natural contours of the terrain as it transitions south toward the Texas border.
