About this map

Savanna and the nearby village of Chambers occupy a central corridor defined by the Missouri-Kansas-Texas rail line and the Indian Nation Toll Road Turnpike. The landscape is dominated to the northwest by the U S Army Ammunition Depot, featuring the U S Government Railroad and Brown Lake. This military installation contrasts with the surrounding rural terrain, where various peaks like Shoat Mountain, Piney Mountain, and Wade Mountain rise between wandering watercourses.

Downstream from the depot, Peaceable Creek and Dancing Rabbit Creek drain toward the eastern lowlands, while the southern settlement of Blanco marks the transition into the Kiowa region. The map reveals the infrastructure of the late 1960s and 1970s, including a Radio Facility and localized industrial features like a Gas Well and Sewage Disposal Ponds, illustrating the evolving rural economy of Pittsburg County during this era.
