1971 Map of Strang

About this map

Strang and Pensacola anchor this Mayes County landscape as it appeared in the early 1970s, defined by the winding waters of the NeosHO River Lake Hudson. The map documents a predominantly rural region shaped by water management and natural resources, evidenced by the City of Adair Waterworks and various Gravel Pits along the river banks. A legacy of transportation is visible in the Old Railroad Grade north of Strang, while the social fabric of the era is captured through numerous rural congregations including Utopia Ch, Rock Creek Ch, and Greenbriar Ch. Local family histories are preserved at the Ghormley Cem and Benge Cem, situated near the tributaries of Elm Creek and Benge Branch.
