1967 Map of Roff North

About this map

Fitzhugh and the northern edge of Roff anchor this Pontotoc County landscape, which transitions from the northern drainages of Canadian Sandy Creek to the southern reach of the Blue River. The map documents a period of modern infrastructure expansion, specifically marking the Chickasaw Turnpike as a toll road then under construction. This transportation corridor cuts through a rural terrain defined by small family-named watersheds like West Days Creek and Rodtky Creek. Genealogy researchers will find several localized landmarks, including the West Hill Cem and East Hill Cem, alongside rural congregations such as Wilson Ch and Lightning Ridge Ch. The presence of numerous sandpits and gravel pits suggests a localized economy tied to aggregate extraction and road building during this era.
