1971 Map of Higgins

USGS Topo · Published 1973

About this map

Gaines Creek winds through the heart of this Latimer County landscape, where the flat valley floors meet the prominent ridges of Blue Mountain and Buffalo Mountain. At the time of this 1971 field check, the settlement of Higgins serves as a central point in an area defined by both its natural drainage and its industrial infrastructure. The transportation history of the region is clearly visible, with the Chicago Rock Island and Pacific railroad cutting through the terrain alongside an Old Railroad Grade that suggests earlier corridors of transit. Scattered industrial sites, including a Gravel Pit, Oil Well locations, and several Gas Wells, point to the extraction economy that shaped this part of Oklahoma. For genealogists and local historians, the Mountain Station Cem offers a specific point of interest situated along the northern slopes of the central ridge system.
