About this map

Afton stands as a primary crossroads in the northern reaches of the Grand Lake O' the Cherokees region, where interstate highways and local section roads meet. This landscape transitions from the agricultural plateaus of Ottawa Co into the intricate shoreline of Delaware Co to the south. Along the northern fingers of the lake, settlements like Bernice and Indian Hills occupy the peninsulas near Horse Creek Cove and Cedar Point.

Genealogists and local historians will find several rural burial grounds documented, including Mount Hope Cem north of the main town and Sixkiller Cem further south. The drainage patterns of Horse Cr and Little Horse Cr dictate the topography, eventually feeding into the expansive reservoir. The mapping of named section roads, such as W Central Country Rd and S 510 Rd, provides a clear grid for tracing property boundaries and mid-20th-century rural development.
