1971 Map of Indianola

About this map

Indianola and the surrounding high ground of Choate Prairie dominate this landscape, situated just south of the vast Eufaula Lake shoreline. The area is defined by its transition from the northern Burton hills down to the Canadian River valley. The map reveals a community deeply rooted in its local institutions, evidenced by the cluster of rural churches and burial grounds such as Choate Prairie Ch and the Indianola Cem. An Old Railroad Grade cuts across the terrain south of the lake, marking the path of former transport infrastructure that once connected these rural settlements. The drainage patterns of Shell Mill Creek and Rock Creek carve through the northern and southern reaches of the quadrangle, illustrating the complex hydrology near the McIntosh and Pittsburg County line.
