About this map

State Game Refuge lands dominate the center of this 1957 study of southeastern Oklahoma, revealing a landscape defined by sharp ridges and deep hollows. The settlement of Fugate sits along the southern edge of the refuge, while local education is anchored by Armstrong Sch and Miller Sch. The drainage patterns of Potapo Creek and Chickasaw Creek illustrate the complex watershed of Atoka County, carving through features like Peacock Hollow and Kennedy Hollow.

Open grasslands such as Hiawana Prairie and West Windy Prairie break the timbered hills, providing a distinct contrast to the dense network of named drainages. Local landmarks like Texas Hole and the Horseshoe Bend of McGee Creek highlight specific points of interest for genealogists tracing families in the Stringtown and Farris areas. The map details a rural economy tied to the land before major modern developments altered the local character.
