About this map

Chouteau stands as the central hub of this Mayes County landscape, where the Missouri-Kansas-Texas Railroad runs parallel to the developing Mid-America Industrial District. The northeastern portion of the sheet is defined by the industrial growth near the Pryor Creek corridor and the Pryor Municipal Airport, contrasting with the more rural southern stretches near the Neosho River.

Water-based recreation and public land management are evident along the banks of Fort Gibson Lake, featuring several developed areas like the Mazie Landing Public Use Area and Chouteau Bend South Public Use Area. Local genealogy is well-preserved through family-named landmarks and several burying grounds, including the Sixkiller Cem and Liberty Cem. The map captures a transition where traditional farming and small settlements like Lusta meet modern industrial expansion and the floodwaters of the Grand River system.
