About this map

The Diamond Mountains and Sans Bois Mountains dominate the landscape in this late-1960s survey, illustrating the complex geography along the border of Haskell and Latimer Counties. The small community of Lequire serves as a focal point in the northwest, situated near the confluence of several drainages including Turkey Creek and Andrew Creek. Further south, the settlement of Lodi appears near the banks of Red Oak Creek.

Resource extraction is evident through several marked Gravel Pits and a Strip Mine located just north of Lequire, hinting at the industrial activity that supplemented the local agricultural economy. The terrain is deeply incised by numerous named drainages and hollows, such as Huckleberry Hollow and Askew Hollow, which define the ridges of Long Mountain and Little Round Mountain. The map also highlights prominent elevations like Ryan Peak, providing a clear view of the area's natural landmarks before any modern development altered the topography.
