2019 Map of Proctor

About this map

Eldon and Proctor anchor this study of eastern Oklahoma terrain where the Baron Fork flows westward to meet the Illinois River. The landscape is defined by a dense network of hollows and named ridges, including Eldon Mtn, Proctor Hill, and the winding Pumpkin Hollow. This detail reveals the rural infrastructure of the early 21st century, showing how modern roads like E Lane School Rd and Collins Rd follow the natural contours of the Ozark foothills. Genealogists will find significant value in the distribution of family and community burial sites across the landscape, from the Cobb Family Cem near the western edge to the Proctor-Sanders Community Cem in the northeast. The presence of Mining Camp Hollow in the southwest corner points to the area's earlier industrial history, preserved here alongside local landmarks like Pumpkin Center Cem.
