About this map

Afton serves as the focal point of this northeast Oklahoma survey, where a well-defined grid of residential streets meets a complex transportation network. The map reveals the area's transition from rural townships to developed lakeside communities near the Neosho River. The convergence of modern highway infrastructure at the Afton Interchange contrasts with the traditional rural layout, providing a look at how regional travel corridors have reshaped the landscape around the town center and nearby Oseuma.

For those researching family history, the map preserves the locations of several community burial grounds, including Mount Hope Cemetery, Sixkiller Cemetery, and Ballard Cemetery. The southern portion of the quadrangle is defined by the winding course of Horse Creek as it feeds into the river, creating a jagged shoreline that supports the developments at Indian Hills and Cedar Point. These settlements illustrate the significance of the river and its tributaries, like Fly Creek, in dictate the local topography and modern land use.
