1958 Map of Little Axe

USGS Topo · Published 1986

About this map

Little River and its numerous tributaries, including Hog Creek and Roulette Creek, define the topography of this central Oklahoma landscape. In the late 1950s, the area retained a rural, service-oriented character centered on small settlements like Little Axe and Needmore. The map records an active Oil Field and scattered Oil Wells, indicating the region's reliance on mineral extraction alongside traditional agricultural pursuits. Significant social anchors are represented by the Little Jim Mission in the north and country churches such as Bennett Ch and Etowah Ch. These landmarks, along with Bethel Cem and Mars Hill Cem, provide essential data points for those tracing family history in the area near the Cleveland County and Pottawatomie County line. The inclusion of Little River State Park in the west highlights the early development of managed recreation areas prior to the major reservoir expansions seen in later decades.
