About this map

Scaly Bark Mountain rises as a prominent landmark above the surrounding prairie and creek bottoms in this 1970 snapshot of the Rogers and Mayes County border. The landscape is defined by the transition from upland ridges like Timber Ridge and Inola Hill down to the meandering paths of Chouteau Creek and Bull Creek. The map documents a sparsely populated but deeply rooted community, evidenced by several scattered burial grounds and spiritual centers such as the Amish Cem, Highland Cem, and Brethren Cem, alongside the Eden Ch.

Transportation and infrastructure are clearly marked, showing the path of the Missouri Pacific railroad cutting through the southwestern corner near Mazie and Inola. Unusual landmarks of the era are also present, including the Buzzards Roost Landing Strip and localized utilities like the Sewage Disposal Ponds and a hilltop Water Tank, illustrating the functional layout of this rural Oklahoma district during the early 1970s.
