About this map

The small town of Wainwright serves as the focal point of this 1970 landscape, situated at the intersection of a local road network and the Missouri - Kansas - Texas railroad. This survey captures a rural Oklahoma setting defined by the transition between Muskogee and McIntosh counties, where small-scale energy extraction is evidenced by Gas Wells scattered across the southern terrain. The landscape is deeply carved by a network of waterways including Anderson Creek, Darling Creek, and Elk Creek, which shape the local topography.

Genealogists and local historians will find value in the location of the Middleton Cem near Wayside. The map illustrates a period of industrial infrastructure in the region, with a prominent Pipeline cutting diagonally across the prairie. The layout of the land reflects a traditional agrarian settlement pattern, with family and place names like Brown and Turner printed across large survey sections.
