2018 Map of Beland

About this map

Taft and the smaller community of Beland serve as the primary focal points in this section of Muskogee County. The landscape is defined by a network of drainage systems and artificial water bodies, most notably the twin reservoirs of Taft Lake Number 3 and Taft Lake Number 2 situated north of the Beland settlement. The terrain transitions from the lowlands of Pecan Cr and Cloud Creek toward the elevation of Baucum Hill in the northeast. Genealogists will find the locations of Doyle Cem and Brown Cem valuable for tracing local family histories. The area's infrastructure is characterized by a strict grid of section roads, including Chimney Mountain Rd, which provide access to the rural homesteads and agricultural tracts located between several watershed projects like the Cane Cr Reservoir.
