1973 Map of Redden

About this map

Hewitt Mountain and Jackfork Mountain dominate this landscape in the southeastern Oklahoma hills, framing the broad McGee Valley. The settlement of Redden sits at the southwestern edge of the quadrangle, while the modern transit corridor of the Indian Nation Toll Road cuts through the eastern valley, marked by the Daisy Interchange. This era of the early 1970s shows a transitional countryside where traditional landmarks like Hewitt Cem, Baker Cem, and McGee Ch persist alongside newer infrastructure like the Landing Strip near Baker Branch. Numerous waterways including McGee Creek, Cedar Creek, and Buck Creek drain the surrounding timbered ridges, illustrating the complex drainage patterns of the Kiamichi mountain foothills during this period of rural development.
