1951 Map of Millerton

About this map

The Red River defines the winding border between Oklahoma and Texas, dominated by the prominent loop of Horseshoe Bend and the nearby Cut-off. This early 1950s survey of McCurtain County reveals a rural landscape anchored by small communities and localized institutions. The St Louis San Francisco railroad runs across the northern edge, connecting the towns of Valliant and Millerton. To the south, the terrain descends toward the river lowlands, marked by Whitegrass Flats and numerous sloughs like Salt Well Slough. Local social life is evidenced by scattered country schools and houses of worship, including Mt Zion Sch, Forest Hill Sch, and Clear Creek Ch. The presence of the Clear Creek Cem and named landmarks such as Farmers Hill provide specific points of interest for those researching family history in the Wilson and Kirk districts.
