1963 Map of Stidham

About this map

Stidham and Fame anchor this rural McIntosh County landscape during a period of significant hydrological change. The eastern and southern boundaries are dominated by the rising waters of the Eufaula Reservoir, which began flooding the deep valleys of Sharpe Creek, Possum Creek, and Mill Creek around the time of this survey. This transformation from traditional creek-bottom lands to a major reservoir system altered the local geography, yet many original community landmarks remain visible. Scattered throughout the interior are essential cultural sites for genealogists, including Artussee Indian Ch, Muskogee Ch, and numerous family burial grounds like Ramsey Cem, Hutton Cem, and Charles Cem. High points such as Badger Hill overlook a network of section-line roads connecting smaller crossroads like Carters Corner and Vivian.
