1971 Map of Colcord NE

About this map

Maysville sits at a historic crossroads in the early 1970s, where the Arkansas, Oklahoma, and Missouri borders converge amidst a landscape of prairie and creek bottoms. The western edge of the map is defined by the Old Indian Treaty Boundary, a significant line marking the historical division between state lands and Indian Territory. This survey highlights a rural community anchored by small settlements like Beaty and a series of scattered spiritual and burial sites, including Mount Zion Ch and Pleasant Center Ch. The drainage patterns are intricate, with Honey Creek, Chalybeate Creek, and Beaty Creek carving through the terrain. For genealogists and local historians, the sheet is particularly valuable for its documentation of numerous small family or community cemeteries such as Wann Cem, Lee Cem, and Georgia Cem, which remain as quiet markers of the area's pioneer heritage.
