1971 Map of Wetumka SE

About this map

The Canadian River carves a wide path through this portion of Hughes and Pittsburg Counties, serving as the primary natural boundary and focal point of the local topography. Along its northern banks, the Missouri Pacific railroad corridor cuts across the landscape near the Lamar Cem and the small settlement of Graves. The area is characterized by a network of drainage systems, including Sandy Creek, Scipio Creek, and Gobbler Creek, which feed into the main river channel from the surrounding uplands. Local heritage is grounded in landmarks such as the Tulmochasse Ch, while the presence of the Gas Field in the northern sections indicates the region's mid-century energy production. Industrial and agricultural development is balanced by the natural relief of the Barnard terrain, providing a look at eastern Oklahoma's rural landscape just before the further modernization of the early 1970s.
