About this map

The Kiamichi River valley dominates this Pushmataha County landscape, where the settlement of Moyers is situated near an Old Railroad Grade. This mid-century survey captures the region as the Indian Nation Turnpike was established, cutting a diagonal path across the rugged terrain of White Rock Mountain and Parker Mountain. The map reveals a rural infrastructure of small communities and family-named landmarks, such as Miller and Kellond, alongside essential local institutions like Sugarloaf Sch.

Hydrographic features define the local geography, from the Tenmile Gaging Station on Tenmile Creek to the smaller Stink Creek and Horsehead Creek. Genealogists will find particular value in the locations of the Millers Cem and Moyers Cem, while the inclusion of the Antlers Waterworks and a Roadside Park near Rodney Mountain provides insight into the mid-century utility and transportation improvements in this corner of Oklahoma.
