1971 Map of Lake Mc Alester

About this map

Lake Mc Alester and the western reaches of the Eufaula Reservoir dominate this 1971 landscape in Pittsburg County. The map details a period of transition where modern infrastructure like the Indian Nation Turnpike and an aqueduct intersect with established rural landmarks. Settlement patterns are visible at Mekko and its associated Mekko Ch, while local recreation is centered around Camp Hudgens and Camp Craig along the lake's southern finger. The terrain shifts from the open Tannehill Prairie in the southwest to the prominence of Bald Mountain in the north. This survey is particularly useful for locating smaller community focal points such as Shady Grove Ch and Shady Grove Cem, which sit near the winding course of Wildhorse Creek and Rock Creek.
