About this map

Council Hill and Hitchita anchor this landscape at the intersection of Okmulgee, McIntosh, and Muskogee counties during the early 1970s. The region is defined by a mix of upland terrain, such as the High Spring Mountains, and the encroaching waters of the Eufaula Reservoir to the south. The transition from terrestrial to aquatic recreation is evident at the Gentry Creek Public Use Area.

Industry and transport legacies are clearly marked, with scattered oil wells and the routes of the St Louis San Francisco and Texas and Pacific railroads. For those tracing family histories, the map identifies several rural landmarks, including Council Hill Cem, Ridley Cem, and Lone Tree Ch. The presence of the Foster Landing Strip and a Radio Tower near High Spring points to the area's mid-century modernization.
