1974 Map of Sparks

About this map

Sparks serves as the primary hub of this Lincoln County landscape, centered around its prominent Water Tank and the north-south transit corridor. The industrial and agricultural character of the region is shaped by the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroad, which parallels Quapaw Creek through the heart of the territory. The map reveals a dense network of tributaries including Hogshooter Creek, Breakfast Creek, and Robinson Creek, all feeding toward the northern flow of the Deep Fork. Local history is anchored by rural landmarks such as Spring Branch Ch in the south and the White Dove Cem and Sunnyside Cem, which provide specific points of interest for genealogical research. The land is divided into tribal township quadrants including North Choctaw and South Seminole, reflecting the historic jurisdictional boundaries of the area.
