1960 Map of Peoria

About this map

The Peoria mining district and the intersection of multiple tribal reservations define this landscape in the northeast corner of Oklahoma. Extensive Tripoli Mines and industrial Tailings characterize the terrain south of Devils Hollow, highlighting a period of intense subsurface mineral extraction. The map documents a complex tapestry of territorial boundaries, including the Quapaw Indian Reservation Boundary, Peoria Indian Reservation Boundary, and Modoc Indian Reservation Boundary, which converge across the rolling hills of Peoria Prairie. To the west, the Spring River flows toward Lake O' the Cherokees, spanned by the Devils Promenade Bridge. Cultural landmarks like the Sunnyside Sch, Cherry Grove Ch, and Peoria Cem provide vital reference points for genealogists tracing families in this multi-jurisdictional borderland near the Kansas state line.
