1970 Map of Rocky Point

About this map

Fort Gibson Reservoir dominates the landscape of this 1970s study, where the Neosho River widens into a complex network of bays and points at the border of Mayes and Wagoner Counties. The transition from riverine to reservoir environment is marked by numerous recreation sites, including Blue Bill Point Public Use Area and Snug Harbor Public Use Area. Transport patterns are defined by the Missouri-Kansas-Texas railroad corridor in the west, while an Old RR Grade winds through the hills near Big Bend, hinting at earlier logistics in the river valley. Small communities like Mazie and Leliaetta sit inland from the water, while the village of Yonkers is situated on the eastern shore. Genealogists will find the locations of Fisher Cem and Union Mission Cem preserved alongside industrial markers like the Filtration Plant and local Gravel Pit operations.
