About this map

Wyandotte serves as a central hub on this 1961 survey, situated where the St Louis San Francisco railroad crosses the terrain near the confluence of the Spring River and Neosho River. The landscape is heavily defined by tribal history, with numerous administrative and geographic boundaries visible including the Ottawa Indian Reservation Boundary, the East Shawnee Indian Reservation Boundary, and the Shawnee Modoc Indian Reservation Boundary.

Educational and religious life for these communities is documented through several rural sites like the Seneca Indian Sch, Stony Point Sch, and Modoc Ch. The map also captures the early decades of the Lake o' the Cherokees, illustrating how the impounded waters fill Sycamore Cove and wind through the river valleys. Industrial presence is noted by the Tripoli Mine and scattered Gravel Pits north of Lost Creek.
