1973 Map of Redden

About this map

Kiowa Mountain and Jackfork Mountain dominate the horizon of this Atoka County landscape, framing a valley deeply carved by McGee Creek and its many tributaries. The settlement of Redden sits near the base line at the southern edge, while the rural community structure of the 1970s is evidenced by McGee Ch and localized burial sites such as Hewitt Cem and Baker Cem. The terrain is characterized by numerous hollows and branches, including Sharp Hollow and Tommy Bond Branch, which feed into the central drainage of Hewett Valley. This era shows the modern impact of the Indian Nation Toll Road cutting through the eastern hills, complete with the Daisy Interchange. The map records a transition where traditional cross-country paths and creek-side settlements like Graves met the high-speed infrastructure of the late twentieth century.
