1971 Map of Hanna

About this map

Hanna and Vernon serve as the primary focal points of this 1971 survey, situated within the transition from the rolling timberlands of Dustin to the lowlands of the Canadian River. The landscape is defined by the intersection of older infrastructure and modern development, most notably where the Indian Nation Toll Road cuts a straight path north-to-south, bypassing the winding path of the Old Railroad Grade. To the east, the rising waters of the Eufaula Reservoir mark a shift in the local geography, inundating former valley lands near the mouth of Scipio Creek. Genealogy researchers will find several local landmarks of interest, including Weogufkee Ch, Oak Hill Ch, and the Vernon Cem. The presence of the Waterworks and municipal Park at Hanna indicates the town's established role as a local center for this section of McIntosh County during the early 1970s.
