About this map

The town of Quinton serves as the focal point for this survey of eastern Oklahoma, where the landscape is defined by the high ridges of Machire Mountain and Beaver Mountain. This era shows a region transitioning between traditional agriculture and modern energy extraction, evidenced by numerous Gas Wells and a significant Strip Mine in the southeast corner. The rural social fabric of the late 1960s is preserved through the locations of local landmarks like Sandy Ridge Ch, Jesus Name Ch, and the Mountain Home Cem.

Drainage systems such as Beaver Creek and Emachaya Creek cut through the terrain, while the Lona Valley offers a distinct contrast to the surrounding heights. For genealogists and local historians, the map's precision in locating family-linked sites like the Ware Farm Landing Field and various church-cemetery clusters provides a reliable window into the community's mid-century footprint across the Haskell and Pittsburg County line.
