1981 Map of Smithville
USGS Topo · Published 1981About this map
Smithville and Octavia anchor this corner of McCurtain County, Oklahoma, in a landscape where the Boktuklo Mountains and Sulphur Mountain dictate the flow of water and human settlement. The drainage of Big Eagle Creek and Boktuklo Creek carve deep valleys through the terrain, meeting at the dramatic constriction known as The Narrows. This survey shows a transition in land use, noting the Indian Mission and the small settlement of Nani-chito. The map identifies specific infrastructure like the Footbridge near Smithville and a network of creeks including Buffalo Creek and Roosevelt Creek. A significant detail provided by the Oklahoma Water Resources Board notes areas subject to controlled inundation by Broken Bow Lake, indicating how the engineering of the regional watershed was beginning to reshape the lowland areas near the Fork Mountain ridge during the late 1970s.
