1957 Map of Jumbo

About this map

Impson Valley defines the western corridor of this Pushmataha County landscape, where the settlement of Jumbo is situated along the water of Tenmile Creek. This 1957 survey, later revised in the 1990s, documents the introduction of the Indian Nation Turnpike, which cuts a modern path through the traditional terrain. The geography is characterized by numerous named ridges and basins, including Daisy Mountain, Box Springs Mountain, and the expansive Johns Valley to the northeast. Beyond the valley floors, the map records industrial footprints such as a lone Oil Well and the grazing potential of the Salt Lick. The intricate drainage network of Horsehead Creek, Buck Creek, and Wildhorse Creek highlights the complex watershed that feeds the surrounding lowlands. These topographic details illustrate the transition from isolated rural community to a more connected regional infrastructure while maintaining its distinct upland character.
