1970 Map of Council Hill

About this map

Council Hill and Hitchita anchor this landscape at the intersection of Muskogee, Okmulgee, and McIntosh counties during the early 1970s. The southern reach of the map is defined by the rising waters of the Eufaula Reservoir, where the Gentry Creek Public Use Area meets the shoreline. The terrain is marked by industrial activity, with numerous oil wells and a gas well scattered across the northern sections, particularly near the St Louis and San Francisco railroad line. Topographically, High Spring Mountain rises as a prominent landmark in the southwest, while local social history is preserved through several rural institutions like Lone Tree Ch, New Hope Ch, and the Hitchita-Lackey Cem. The map provides a detailed view of the regional infrastructure, from the Texas and Pacific rail corridor to the private Foster Landing Strip.
