About this map

Beggs sits at the northern edge of this Okmulgee County landscape, where the street grid of the town center, including Main St and 9th St, meets the rural countryside. The terrain is defined by the winding course of the Deep Fork river and its many tributaries, such as Negro Cr and Flat Rock Cr. This environment supports numerous small reservoirs and ponds, including New Beggs Lake and the 111008 Reservoir.

Genealogists will find a high concentration of burial sites scattered across the township, from the Beggs Cem near the town center to the more isolated Stake Cem and Huckaby Cem further south. The southern portion of the map is dominated by the northern reaches of Okmulgee Lake and the Lions Cove area, transitioning into the Crane Reserve. This map documents a region where traditional rural road networks, like Rizley Rd and Seay Rd, serve a landscape of water management and small-town Oklahoman life.
