About this map

Kinta sits at the northern edge of this landscape, positioned between the San Bois Mountains and a developed corridor of industrial and transit infrastructure. Evidence of natural resource extraction is visible in the form of numerous gas wells and a prominent Strip Mine following the northern terrain. The lowlands are defined by the winding course of Sans Bois Creek and Beaver Creek, while the southern half of the sheet rises sharply into the high ridges of Blue Mountain and Beaver Mountain.

Tracing the path of the Old Railroad Grade reveals the historic transportation network that once connected these valley settlements. Local landmarks such as the Shady Grove Cem and Kinta Lake provide points of interest for genealogists and local historians. The map also delineates the boundary between Haskell Co and Latimer Co, slicing through the dense topography of Vaughn Hollow and Hulsey Hollow.
