1971 Map of Taft
USGS Topo · Published 1973About this map
Arkansas River bottomlands define the landscape of this 1971 survey, where the river channel winds through Muskogee and Wagoner counties. The settlement of Taft is a focal point of the southern portion of the map, notably featuring the Oklahoma Childrens Center and the Texas and Pacific rail line. To the north, the town of Porter is situated along the Missouri-Kansas-Texas railroad, marking a period of established transport infrastructure. Family and local history are preserved in several burial grounds, including Choska Cem, Clarksville Cem, and Van Cem. The presence of the Yellow Water Ditch and extensive Choska Bottom agricultural lands indicates a highly managed riverine environment, where drainage and irrigation supported local farming near Gatesville and Springhill.
