1972 Map of Keefeton SW

About this map

Oktaha and the historic community of Rentiesville anchor this orthophotomosaic of eastern Oklahoma as it appeared in the early 1970s. The map illustrates a distinctive transition between organized agricultural grids and the more complex terrain of the Rattlesnake Mountains. Because this is an orthophotoquad, it provides a rare photographic view of the landscape's texture, showing the exact distribution of timber and cleared pastures that topographic lines alone often obscure. The drainage patterns of Dirty Creek and Butler Creek are clearly visible, winding through the countryside and defining the natural boundaries of the local ranching and farming operations. This imagery is particularly valuable for researchers tracing the physical development of the area before modern land-use changes altered the rural character of these Muskogee County settlements.
