About this map

The Neosho River and Spring River converge in the southwest corner of this tri-state survey, feeding into the expansive Grand Lake O' The Cherokees. This 1980s landscape highlights the dense network of small mining and railroad towns along the Oklahoma and Kansas border, including Picher, Quapaw, and Commerce. The presence of numerous quarries and mines throughout the region reflects the enduring legacy of the Tri-State Mining District.

Cultural landmarks like the George Washington Carver National Monument and Northeastern Oklahoma A & M College in Miami sit alongside rural prairie landscapes like Burkhart Prairie and Cowskin Prairie. Local transportation is defined by major rail lines such as the St Louis-San Francisco RR and the Kansas City Southern RR, which provided essential links for the area's industrial and agricultural output.
