1959 Map of Golden

About this map

The Glover River cuts a deep path through the southeastern Oklahoma landscape, flowing between Sulphur Mountain and Bear Mountain before reaching the southern lowlands. This mid-century survey captures a region defined by its timber and river geography, where the Industrial Railroad serves Wright City and the surrounding woodlands. The map documents numerous community landmarks, including the Glover Sch near the settlement of Glover, and the Lukfata Ch and Lukfata Cem to the southeast. To the south, the Little River forms complex oxbows and bends like Thompson Bend and Shuler Bend, surrounded by swampy features such as Sunk Lake and Pine Lake Slough. These water patterns reveal the shifting nature of the river system before modern development further altered the drainage of McCurtain County.
