About this map

The construction of Gibson Reservoir defines the changing landscape of Cherokee County at mid-century, where the waters of Fourteen Mile Creek were being harnessed. Near the town of Hulbert, the map details a community dense with local landmarks such as New Hope Ch and Lost City. The southern portion of the sheet is dominated by the Camp Gruber Military Reservation, established during the war years, which transformed the area surrounding Oriental Village and Red Berry Mountain.

Genealogists and local historians will find a wealth of specific data points, from the Fort Gibson National Cemetery in the southwest to the Sequoyah Indian School in the east. The rural geography is meticulously recorded with numerous family-named hills and hollows, such as Hawkins Mountain and Chocolate Hill Spring, alongside a network of country schools and churches like Flint Ridge School and Swimmer Church that served these remote Oklahoma communities.
