About this map

Lake Thunderbird dominates the northern half of this landscape, its expansive waters filling the valley of the Little River. In this 1958 topographic study, photorevised in the 1970s, the rural character of Cleveland County is preserved through a network of section-line roads and creek drainages. The Old Indian Boundary bisects the eastern terrain, serving as a historical marker of land divisions in the region.

Settlement patterns are anchored by small communities such as Denver and Maguire, while the educational and spiritual life of the era is evidenced by Falls School, Adair School, and Liberty Church. The topography varies from the prominence of Fort Hill to the winding paths of Dave Blue Creek and Dripping Springs Creek. Local industry and land use are indicated by several Gravel Pit locations and oil wells scattered across the hills, reflecting the natural resource extraction common to central Oklahoma during this period.
