About this map

State Penitentiary grounds and the city of Mc Alester dominate the landscape in this late 1960s study of Pittsburg County. The map details the complex footprint of the prison, including the Penitentiary Boundary, nearby Prison Lake, and a dedicated Prison Cem. A dense network of local education and civil infrastructure is visible throughout the urban center, from L'Ouverture Sch and Will Rogers Sch to the Hospital and numerous neighborhood parks.

Industrial and transportation routes define the outskirts, where the Indian Nation Turnpike intersects with major rail lines like the Missouri-Kansas-Texas and the Chicago Rock Island and Pacific. Beyond the city limits, the terrain transitions to the Tannehill Prairie and the banks of the Eufaula Reservoir. Genealogists will find value in the specific locations of several burial grounds, including the Catholic Cem, Oak Hill Cem, and the more remote Haile Cem near Alderson.
