1973 Map of Daisy

About this map

The settlement of Daisy and the surrounding Jackfork Mountains are defined by a complex network of ridgelines and creek valleys at the intersection of Atoka, Pittsburg, and Pushmataha Counties. This 1973 record shows a landscape of small rural settlements like Goss and numerous family or community burial grounds, including Billy Cem, Vivian Cem, and Mountain Home Cem. The arrival of the Indian Nation Toll Road creates a modern north-south corridor through the western portion of the quadrangle, contrasting with the winding traditional paths that follow Fobb Creek and Buck Creek. The terrain is dominated by prominent elevations such as Bald Mountain and Big Caney Mountain, while localized landmarks like a Landing Strip and Drill Holes suggest the area's mix of remote utility and resource exploration in the early 1970s.
