2010 Map of Beggs

About this map

Beggs serves as the central hub for this portion of Okmulgee County, defined by its grid of rural roads and the winding course of the Deep Fork river system. The landscape reflects a well-established rural community where small-scale water management projects, such as the Oknoname 111008 Reservoir, complement natural drainage from Salt Creek and Adams Creek. For genealogists, the map is particularly valuable for its documentation of local burial sites, including the Old Post Oak Cemetery and Stake Cemetery. The distribution of these cemeteries alongside routes like Dentonville Rd and Old Beggs Lake Rd-Hickory suggests the legacy of early land allotments and family settlements. The presence of both the Beggs Dam and New Beggs Lake Dam illustrates the community's evolving reliance on local water reservoirs like Beggs Lake for agricultural or municipal needs.
