1958 Map of Vamoosa

About this map

Konawa and the smaller settlements of Vamoosa and Tyrola define the landscape of this central Oklahoma territory in the late 1950s. The region is marked by an extensive collection of family and community burial grounds, such as Tiger Cem, Wise Cem, and Nath-Wood Cem, which offer significant genealogical value for those tracing early residents of the Seminole Co Pontotoc Co border. The physical terrain is shaped by the broad meander of the Canadian River and its predecessor, the Old Canadian River, where an Approximate Indian Boundary cuts across the river valley. Numerous Oil Wells scattered across the northern sections reflect the era's active petroleum industry. Religious and social centers like Seminole Arkeba Ch and the Summers Chapel Sch appear as vital hubs for the surrounding rural homesteads, while the Tower (KTEN-TV) stands as a prominent modern landmark near the river bend.
