About this map

The Canadian River defines the landscape of this 1960s Haskell County survey, forming the county boundary and serving as a focal point for local industry and settlement. Near the riverbanks, evidence of extractive work is visible through numerous Sandpits, a Quarry, and a Gaging Station, while the town of Whitefield sits at a strategic crossing point. To the northeast, the community of Stigler shows its mid-century footprint, including a Drive-in Theater and a Radio Tower, reflecting the era's infrastructure.

For genealogists and local historians, the map is a dense record of rural life, preserving the locations of numerous family-named landmarks and institutions. Small rural schools like Ross Sch and Ferry Sch are scattered across the townships of Porum and Taloka. The map also meticulously records several burial sites, including Cramp Cem, McClure Cem, and Starr Cem, providing vital context for researchers tracing family history along the river valley and the Old Railroad Grade.
