1969 Map of Boswell SW

About this map

Clear Boggy Creek defines the northern reaches of this landscape, winding through the Hunter and Matoy townships. The map documents a predominantly rural region of Oklahoma during the late 1960s, where small settlements and rural institutions like Timber Hill Ch and Pigeon Roost Ch served as local hubs. The southern portion of the sheet is anchored by the St Louis - San Francisco railroad corridor, which parallels the highway passing through Boswell. This transport network was essential for the movement of goods and people across Bryan and Choctaw counties. Smaller locales such as Cade and Mayhew appear as quiet crossroads, while landmarks like Timber Hill and Newkirk Lake provide topographic variety. Genealogists may find particular value in the locations of scattered sites like Jones Cem and the Homera Chapel, which highlight the social fabric of the era.
