1898 Map of Mc Alester

USGS Topo · Published 1898

About this map

South Mc. Alester and Mc. Alester anchor this 1898 Topographic Sheet of the Choctaw Nation in Indian Territory, just years before Oklahoma statehood. The map documents a landscape transitioning into a major coal-producing region, with early mining infrastructure like Mine No. 2 and towns such as Krebs, Alderson, and Hartshorne following the path of the Choctaw Oklahoma and Gulf Railroad. Further south, the Missouri Kansas and Texas R.R. cuts through the Kiowa Hills and passes the historic stop of Limestone Gap. The topography is dominated by the ridges of Jackfork Mountain and Pine Mountain, while numerous watercourses like Brushy Creek and Jackfork Creek drain the valleys. Local landmarks such as Belle Starr Mt. provide specific reference points for genealogists and local historians tracing the earliest developments of the Choctaw Nation's industrial and transport networks.
