1970 Map of Talala
USGS Topo · Published 1972About this map
Talala serves as the primary hub of this Rogers County landscape, situated along the Missouri Pacific railroad line. The map illustrates a transitional period for the local geography as the rising waters of the Oologah Reservoir reshape the eastern and southern edges of the quadrangle. This inundation affects the lower reaches of Talala Creek and Fourmile Creek, creating a complex new shoreline where previously there was only river bottomland. To the north, the small settlement of Watova sits near the border of Nowata County, connected to the southern townships by the same rail corridor and a network of section-line roads. Local history is anchored by features such as Fair View Cem and several industrial Sandpit operations, providing a detailed record of the community's footprint before the full impact of the reservoir was realized.
