About this map

Holt Mountain and the surrounding timbered ridges of the Martin township dominate this early 1960s landscape at the border of Muskogee Co and Haskell Co. The area is characterized by high ground like Barker Mountain and Stanifird Mountain, which rise above the complex drainages of Dirty Creek and its South Fork. Settlement is largely dispersed along country roads, marked by local institutions such as Popes Chapel Sch and Vann Sch.

Genealogists will find a wealth of family-named landmarks and small burial grounds, including Gritts Cem, Fields Cem, and Toney Cem. Industrial activity is evident along the southeastern edge of the map, where a Strip Mine and other Mine labels appear near the bend of the Canadian River. The presence of a Roadside Park near Rabbit Hill suggests a transition toward modernized travel corridors amidst the rural farmsteads and creek bottoms.
