About this map

The town of Antlers serves as the focal point of this 1960s landscape, situated just north of the county line separating Pushmataha Co and Choctaw Co. The terrain is defined by a dense network of drainage systems, including the winding paths of Beaver Creek and Dumpling Creek, which carve through the region's topography. Transportation developments are visible with the Indian Nation Toll Road Turnpike cutting across the northeast, reflecting mid-century infrastructure growth alongside more localized features like the Antlers Municipal Airport and a smaller Landing Strip.

For genealogists and local historians, the map preserves the locations of rural community centers such as Sugarloaf Ch, Kellond Ch, and Pierce Ch. These small country churches, along with the Edwards Cem and the settlement of Nelson in the southern portion of the quadrangle, provide essential landmarks for tracing family history and the distribution of early Oklahoma settlements before modern development altered the rural character.
