About this map

The Old Indian Treaty Boundary carves through this Oklahoma landscape just southwest of Muskogee, marking a historical line of territorial demarcation. The terrain is characterized by prominent rises like Chimney Mountain, Hofschulte Hill, and Baucum Hill, while the rural outskirts are dotted with small community landmarks such as Crekola and Summit. The area south of the Hatbox Field airport reveals an active Oil Field, where a network of radio towers and a local Quarry indicate the region's industrial footprint.

Transportation is a central theme, with the Missouri and Pacific and Missouri-Kansas-Texas railroads converging toward the city. The presence of numerous country churches, including Timothy Ch and Fairview Ch, alongside Plainview Cem and Minegan Cem, provides essential points of reference for genealogists tracing local families in the mid-1970s. From the Fish Hatchery to the Drive-in Theater, the map illustrates a transition from established urban limits into a productive and historically layered countryside.
