About this map

Spavinaw Hills State Game Refuge dominates the northwestern portion of this 1971 survey, showcasing a landscape defined by the winding drainages of the Spavinaw Hills. The terrain is characterized by a series of named hollows, such as Groundhog Hollow, Fairview Hollow, and Big Acorn Hollow, which feed into the wider systems of Saline Creek and the fingers of Lake Eucha. The settlement of Kenwood is positioned near the center-west, while the Old Eucha Cem remains visible near the lakeshore, a significant landmark for those tracing the history of local communities before the inundation of the reservoir.

The map reveals a transition between managed conservation lands and local agricultural or residential life, marked by small landmarks like the Refuge Headquarters, a Landing Strip, and the Estelle Ch. The dense contouring illustrates the complex topography surrounding Proctor and the various branches of the Little Saline Creek, providing a detailed look at the hydrology and land use in Delaware County during the early 1970s.
