1963 Map of Holt Mountain

About this map

Dirty Creek and its many forks define this landscape along the border of Muskogee County and Haskell County during the mid-to-late 20th century. The topography is characterized by distinct heights such as Rabbit Hill, Gritts Hill, and Holt Mountain, with several family-named landmarks suggesting a deep-rooted local history. The map records a shift in transportation and infrastructure, from the path of the Muskogee Turnpike Toll Road to the presence of a Landing Strip. Genealogists will find a wealth of specific sites, including numerous cemeteries like Gum Spring Cem and Girty Cem, alongside rural educational centers such as Sims Sch and Vann Sch. The eastern edge of the survey is dominated by the Robert S. Kerr Reservoir and the Canadian River, illustrating the significance of water management in the region.
