About this map

Chouteau stands at the center of this Oklahoma landscape, where the Missouri-Kansas-Texas Railroad bisects the prairie north of Fort Gibson Lake. The map reveals a transition from the agricultural plains surrounding the small settlement of Lusta to the expanding Industrial District and Mid-America sites in the north. This 1970s era documentation highlights the integration of infrastructure like the Aqueduct and Pipeline alongside established community markers such as Alberty Cem and Sixkiller Cem.

To the south, the terrain follows the winding course of the Neosho River, where recreational and residential growth appears at Paradise View and Pin Oaks Acres. Geologists and local historians will find interest in the proximity of Gravel Pits and the Gaging Station near the riverbanks, reflecting the region's managed water and mineral resources. The presence of Camp Christian and several public use areas like Chouteau Bend South Public Use Area indicates the area's development as a regional hub for both industry and leisure.
