1977 Map of Quinton South

About this map

Quinton and Lewisville anchor the northern edge of this orthophoto study, which captures the Latimer County landscape as it appeared in the late 1970s. The map illustrates the transition from the relatively flat valley floor of Sans Bois Creek into the rising elevations of the Sans Bois Mountains to the south. Notable topographic landmarks such as Tucker Knob and Panther Mountain dominate the central terrain, offering a clear view of the timbered ridges and drainage patterns that define this portion of eastern Oklahoma. Produced by the Geological Survey in cooperation with the Soil Conservation Service, the imagery documents the rural road networks and clearing patterns of the era, including the path of Mountain Fork through the southern highlands. This aerial perspective provides researchers with a precise record of land use and vegetation during a period of modern agricultural and environmental monitoring.
