About this map

Neodesha and the surrounding river bottomlands define this portion of northeastern Oklahoma in the early 1960s. The landscape is characterized by the winding path of the Verdigris River and its expansive Guinn Bottom, flanked by the prominent Osage Mound to the southwest. This era shows a rural infrastructure heavily reliant on rail, with the Missouri Pacific and Missouri-Kansas-Texas lines traversing the terrain.

Genealogists and local historians can locate established community landmarks like Lone Star Ch and Willow Cem. Industrial activity is evident through the presence of a Strip Mine and Gravel Pit, suggesting the localized extraction of resources. The map documents the intricate drainage network of Bull Creek, Flat Rock Creek, and Billy Creek as they converge toward the river valley across county lines.
