About this map

Texanna Mountain and the rising waters of the Eufaula Reservoir dominate this 1963 landscape, marking a period of significant geographical change for the region. The map captures the inundation of the Canadian River valley, where the reservoir's pool reaches into tributaries like Duchess Creek and Mud Cr. Along the north shore, the small settlement of Texanna sits just above the new waterline, while an Old Indian Treaty Boundary cuts across the northern ridges, preserving a line from a previous era of territorial division.

Local history is preserved through features such as Lindsey Chapel and family burial sites like Triplett Cem and Brooken Cem. The terrain south of the reservoir rises sharply toward Brooken Mountain and the elevations of Quinton, where the drainage of Piney Creek and Brooken Creek flows through the dense contours. Industrial markers such as a Quarry and a Gravel Pit near Standing Rock Mountain hint at the local resource extraction occurring alongside the massive water management projects of the mid-century.
