1961 Map of Darwin

About this map

Muddy Boggy Creek meanders heavily through this 1961 landscape, defining the low-lying terrain across the Atoka, Pushmataha, and Choctaw county lines. The northern section of the map centers on the small settlements of Darwin and Old Farris, where local community life is anchored by the Darwin Ch and Center Point Sch. The central and southern portions of the map are dominated by the extensive Mc Leod Honor Farm, which spans several townships along the creek's floodplains. Numerous small oxbow lakes and wetlands, such as Clear Lake, Allen Lake, and Hopena Lake, dot the region, illustrating the active hydrological history of the basin. Further south, the terrain shifts toward more distinct features like Sand Bluff and the drainage of Caney Creek, providing a detailed look at the rural land use and institutional presence in this part of southeastern Oklahoma during the early 1960s.
