About this map

The rugged topography of Morgan Mountain and Taloka Mountain dominates this Haskell County landscape in the early 1960s. The area reveals a mix of rural agriculture and extractive industry, with significant Mines and a notable Strip Mine located in the southwestern reaches of the Sans Bois region. The city of Stigler anchors the southwest corner of the sheet, where a local Substation and a nearby Fish Hatchery mark the local utility and conservation infrastructure.

Transportation and community life are defined by the narrow valleys of Taloka Creek and Center Creek. Genealogists will find a wealth of community landmarks, including several rural education sites like Garland Sch and Rucker Sch, alongside numerous country congregations such as Antioch Ch, Cass Ch, and Garland Chapel. The presence of Club Lake and Little Cedar Creek further illustrates the drainage patterns through the Midland Valley as they existed during this period.
