1977 Map of Blocker

About this map

Blocker sits at the center of this 1977 orthophotoquad, documenting a landscape defined by the intersection of high ridges and significant water bodies in Pittsburg County. The aerial photography captures the rugged interface between Scaffold Mountain to the north and Blue Mountain to the south, highlighting the varied topography of this Oklahoma region. The map provides a detailed visual record of the shoreline of Eufaula Lake, which cuts into the western and southern edges of the quadrangle. Local drainage patterns are clearly visible, including the winding course of Jones Creek as it moves through the valley between the peaks. Unlike traditional topographic maps, this orthophotograph uses rectified imagery to show the actual vegetation patterns and field boundaries of the late 1970s, offering a clear look at land use around the settlement of Blocker during this era.
