About this map

The confluence of the Verdigris River, Neosho River, and Arkansas River serves as the focal point of this Oklahoma survey, highlighting a transformative era for the region's hydraulic landscape. A significant portion of the river system is shown in transition, with the Fort Gibson Reservoir (Under Construction) poised to reshape the shoreline. The map documents an intricate network of rural education and social infrastructure, featuring the Bacone College campus and the Murrow Ind Orphans Home south of Wagoner.

Genealogists will find a wealth of specific local landmarks, from the Blue Mounds Rock Quarry Cem to numerous named district schools like Star District Model Sch No 8 and Morris Chapel Sch. The industrial presence is marked by active Oil Fields, while the transportation corridor is defined by the Missouri Pacific and Kansas Oklahoma and Gulf railroads, which linked these river valley settlements at mid-century.
