About this map

Impson Valley serves as a central anchor for this 1957 survey of the borderlands between Atoka and Pushmataha Counties. The landscape is defined by a dense network of watercourses and deep hollows, including Happy Hollow and Wildcat Canyon, which descend from the surrounding ridges. Local history is marked by the presence of Impson Ch (Abandoned) and a nearby Cem, indicating a community core that had already shifted by the mid-20th century.

Industrial activity is sparsely represented by Oil Tanks located near Spring Creek, while the natural drainage patterns of McGee Creek and Tenmile Creek dominate the topography. The map illustrates a transitional period in rural Oklahoma where early family-named landmarks like Jacob Hollow and Bugaboo Canyon remain primary points of orientation in a region of significant elevation change, characterized by features like Long Mountain.
