1957 Map of Jumbo

About this map

Jumbo serves as the primary focal point of this mid-century survey, situated at the head of Impson Valley. The landscape is defined by the sharp verticality of the Ouachita Mountains, where Buck Mountain and White Rock Mountain loom over a network of isolated creek beds. Geologic and industrial interests are evident through the presence of oil wells in the southern valley and specialized sites like Salt Lick and Marble. The drainage pattern is intricate, with Tenmile Creek and Buck Creek carving through the terrain, joined by smaller tributaries like Monkeywrench Creek and Whisky Creek. This topographic record provides a clear look at the dispersed settlement and resource extraction in Pushmataha County before more modern development reached these ridges.
