1951 Map of Bokhoma

About this map

Bokhoma and the nearby community of Moon are central features of this McCurtain County landscape at the dawn of the 1950s. The region is defined by a dense network of watercourses, including the various branches of North Caney Creek and the meandering Parker Creek. Local life is anchored by several rural institutions such as the Oak Ridge Sch and Choctaw Ch, providing clear points of reference for genealogists and local historians studying mid-century Oklahoma. The St Louis San Francisco railroad cuts diagonally across the center of the survey, passing through the settlement of America. This transportation corridor, paired with the scattered rural homes and the Bokhoma Cem, illustrates a community deeply tied to both the land and the rail infrastructure of the era.
