About this map

The sprawling shoreline of Grand Lake O' The Cherokees dominates this 2010 landscape, where the Neosho River provides a complex network of coves and inlets. The settlement of Bernice and nearby Bernice Point sit at the northern reaches of the lake, while the community of Cleora lies further west. This era shows a mix of residential development and recreation-focused infrastructure, notably the Cherokee Seaplane Base near Rabbit Island and the Lyon Airport situated along the western banks.

Local history and genealogy are well-represented through several family-named landmarks and burial sites, including the Wallen Cemetery, McLaughlin Cemetery, and Hiderbrand Cemetery. The geography is further defined by numerous named landforms within the reservoir, such as Monkey Island, Snake Island, and the prominent Tynon Bluffs. The intricate road system, including Duck Creek Blvd and Old Farm Rd, reflects the modern accessibility of these lakeside communities.
