About this map

The Verdigris River snakes through the western edge of this 1963 survey, defining a landscape of oxbow lakes and alluvial lowlands like Adams Creek Bottom. To the east, the Missouri Pacific railroad serves as the primary corridor for commerce and travel, anchoring the town of Inola and the nearby siding of McFarlin. The map captures a transition between the river's flood-prone basins and the upland agricultural fields, where small rural hubs like the Gregory Church and Gregory School served local farming families.

Industrial activity is evident through numerous Oil Wells and Gravel Pits scattered across the terrain, reflecting the mid-century extraction economy of Rogers County. Water management is a prominent theme, from the natural curvature of Horseshoe Lake and Big Flag Lake to the engineered Sewage Disposal Pond near Inola. The presence of the Sweeten Cemetery and Willieo Church adds layers of genealogical value for those tracing the history of these eastern Oklahoma communities.
