1910 Map of McComb

About this map

The Little River defines the northern reaches of this central Oklahoma landscape, where the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroad serves the small agrarian hubs of McComb and Tribbey. Surveyed shortly after statehood, the map reveals a dense network of local landmarks essential to early 20th-century rural life, with schoolhouses like Twelve Corners School and Science Hill School spaced at regular intervals to serve family farms. The boundary between Cleveland Co Pottawatomie Co runs north-to-south, bisecting a territory where creek systems like Salt Creek and Pond Creek dictated the placement of settlements such as Etowah and Trousdale. Genealogists may find value in the specific locations of rural congregations, including Mars Hill Church and Solomon's Temple School, providing a precise geographic context for family records in this former tribal territory.
