1956 Map of Stringtown

About this map

Atoka Reservoir dominates the western landscape of this mid-century survey, its planned water levels recorded as the city of Oklahoma City expanded its regional utility reach. The terrain is defined by the sharp verticality of Black Knob Ridge and the Missouri Kansas Texas railroad corridor, which serves the community of Stringtown. The presence of the Confederate Cem near the southern boundary reflects the area's deeper heritage, while the mapping of the West Tellico Sch (Abandoned) and Boggy Bend Sch captures a transition in local education and rural settlement patterns. From the rocky elevations at Grants Gap to the winding bottomlands of Muddy Boggy Creek, the map details a region where infrastructure like the Armory and Waterworks stands alongside traditional creek-side homesteads and rugged prairie gaps.
