About this map

The railroad community of Krebs serves as a central hub in this late 1960s study of Pittsburg County, where the industrial influence of the Chicago Rock Island and Pacific and the Missouri Kansas Texas railroads is clearly visible. These rail lines define the movement of goods and people between smaller settlements like Alderson, Bache, and Carbon. To the east, the rising waters of Eufaula Lake begin to dominate the landscape, contrasting with the inland terrain marked by Pine Knob and Bald Knob.

Local genealogy and social history are well-preserved through numerous sites, including the prominent Oak Hill Cemetery and Calvary Cemetery near McAlester. The presence of a Drive-in Theater and the Highway 31 Landing Recreation Area indicates the evolving mid-century recreation patterns of the area, while established landmarks like Richville Church and High Hill Church anchor the rural neighborhoods.
