About this map

Texanna Mountain and the surrounding river bottomlands are captured here during a period of significant hydrological change. The 1963 field check documents the Eufaula Reservoir as it began to reshape the landscape, with blue hatching indicating areas destined for submergence at the normal pool elevation. This transformation affected the historic confluence of the Canadian River and several tributaries, including Duchess Creek and Brooken Creek.

Evidence of earlier territorial history remains visible along the Old Indian Treaty Boundary which cuts through the northwestern corner. Local life is anchored by the settlement of Texanna, Lindsey Chapel, and family burial sites like Triplett Cem and Brooken Cem. The terrain is defined by prominent high points such as Black Haw Mountain and the landmark Standing Rock, providing a clear view of the transition from wooded ridges to the expanding reservoir waters.
