1958 Map of Konawa

About this map

Sacred Heart and Konawa stand as primary hubs of activity in this late-1950s study of central Oklahoma. The landscape is defined by the sweeping curves of the Canadian River, which serves as a natural boundary between Pottawatomie, Seminole, and Pontotoc counties. This era reveals a region deeply tied to its geological resources, evidenced by the extensive Grayson Field, Avoca Field, and Maxwell Field oil developments, alongside localized gravel pits. Small community landmarks like Antioch Ch, Grayson Ch, and several family or community cemeteries such as Vista Cem and Maxwell Cem provide essential data points for genealogists. Tracing the Old Indian Boundary offers a glimpse into the historic territorial divisions that shaped land allotment and settlement patterns south of Maxwell.
