1956 Map of Stringtown

About this map

Missouri Kansas Texas railroad tracks parallel the Black Knob Ridge through this mid-century portrait of southeastern Oklahoma. The landscape is defined by the convergence of major waterways, including North Boggy Creek and Muddy Boggy Creek, which carve through the terrain near the settlements of Stringtown and Atoka. The presence of the Confederate Cemetery and McKinney Cemetery provides a tangible link to 19th-century history, while the West Tellico Sch (Abandoned) reflects shifts in rural education patterns by the 1950s.
