1961 Map of Miami SW

About this map

The St Louis San Francisco railroad and the Will Rogers Turnpike cut diagonally across this landscape, illustrating the evolution of Oklahoma transportation routes in the mid-twentieth century. Near the northeastern corner, the Neosho River flows into the Lake O' the Cherokees, where the Peoria Indian Reservation Bdy meets the water. The settlement of Narcissa serves as a central landmark alongside the rail line, while the fringe of Miami appears in the northeast. Genealogy researchers will find several rural institutions well-preserved, including Lone Star Ch, Mound Valley Ch, and its neighboring Mound Valley Sch. The map also captures the local educational landscape with Lincoln Sch and Sacred Heart Sch, alongside the Coal Creek Cem and a County Home near the gravel operations.
