1972 Map of Rose

About this map

The community of Rose sits at the intersection of several local routes in the early 1970s, serving as a hub for the surrounding rural area of Mayes County. The landscape is defined by the winding paths of Snake Creek and Little Rock Creek, with several schools and churches marking the social center of the township. Local history and genealogy interest is found in the distribution of community buildings like Little Rock Sch and Little Rock Ch, alongside the Little Rock Cem and Rose Cem. In the southern portion of the map, the terrain transitions toward the Peggs and Murphy regions, where the drainage of Blacksmith Hollow and the Shale Pits indicate the local geography's utility. The presence of the Rose Lookout Tower suggests the elevation and forested character of the eastern Oklahoma hills at this time.
