1968 Map of Potato Peaks

About this map

Potato Peaks and Kennedy Mountain dominate this corner of Le Flore County, Oklahoma, defining a landscape marked by both resource extraction and rural settlement. In the northern reaches, the industrial presence of a Strip Mine and numerous Gas Wells contrast with the winding paths of Brazil Creek and Milton Creek. Small communities like Latham and Bordeaux appear alongside local landmarks such as the Long Prairie Cemetery, providing vital touchpoints for genealogists tracking family roots in the Milton and Bokoshe townships. The southern portion of the map transitions into the high elevations of Wister Mountain and Sulphur Spring Mountain, where drainages like Caston Creek and Wolf Mountain Creek carve through the terrain. Purple revisions from the 1980s document changes to infrastructure and development, including the expansion of the pipeline network and new industrial sites like the Shale Pit.
