About this map

Kiowa and the small settlement of Reynolds anchor this 1967 survey of the Choctaw Nation's borderlands, where the Pittsburg Co Atoka Co line divides the landscape. The Missouri-Kansas-Texas railroad corridor serves as the central artery, flanked by industrial sites such as multiple Quarries and the municipal Waterworks. The map preserves the placement of essential community landmarks, including the High Sch in town and Harpers Valley Ch to the west, along with family and local burial grounds like Oak Hill Cem and Wards Cem.

The physical geography is defined by the prominent Kiowa Hills and Limestone Ridge, leading toward the heights of Pine Mountain. Water sources such as Sassafras Creek and North Boggy Creek drain the area, while recreation and utility are noted at Kiowa Lake and Country Club Lake. An Old Railroad Grade and several utility pipelines further illustrate the evolving infrastructure of this Oklahoma region during the late 1960s.
