1977 Map of Fort Coffee
USGS Topo · Published 1977About this map
Arkansas River oxbows and the expansive alluvial plains of Paw Paw Bottom dominate this aerial perspective of eastern Oklahoma in the late 1970s. This orthophotoquad provides a literal view of the land use patterns near the settlement of Fort Coffee, where the transition from organized agricultural plots to the complex, shifting hydrology of the river is clearly visible. Small community centers and geographic markers like Baldridge, Cottonwood, and Murry Spur punctuate the landscape, offering specific points of reference for those studying the rural development of Le Flore County. The imagery, captured by the Geological Survey in cooperation with the Soil Conservation Service, documents the precise state of the riverbanks and timberlines before further decades of erosion and human activity altered these riparian corridors.
