1963 Map of Eufaula

About this map

Eufaula serves as the focal point of this McIntosh County landscape, situated at a critical juncture of land and water transport in the early 1960s. The town's grid is defined by the Missouri-Kansas-Texas railroad corridor, while the eastern and southern reaches are dominated by the rising waters of Lake Eufaula. This map illustrates a significant period of transition for the region, where the original courses of the North Canadian River and the Deep Fork are shown alongside blue hatched lines indicating areas designated for submergence. Local history is deeply embedded in the rural surroundings through several family and community landmarks, including McIntosh Cem, Evergreen Cem, and Lawson Williams Cem. Small congregational hubs like West Eufaula Ch and Okfuskee Ch anchor the outlying settlements, while the presence of a Fish Hatchery and Baptizing Creek reflect the area's long-standing relationship with its river systems.
