About this map

Grand Lake O' the Cherokees dominates this landscape, its intricate shoreline defining the character of Delaware County. The town of Bernice sits at the northern neck of the water, situated near Bernice Point and the prominent Monkey Island. This 2012 survey shows a region deeply shaped by its relationship with the lake, where numerous coves and peninsulas harbor local landmarks like Rabbit Island, Snake Island, and Two Tree Island.

Genealogists and local historians will find value in the placement of several small burial grounds, including Wallen Cem, McLaughlin Cem, and Hiderbrand Cem. The map tracks the transition from the lakeside settlements of Cleora and Dennis to the bluffs and hollows of the eastern interior. Features such as Tynon Bluffs and Johnson Hollow illustrate the varied topography that borders the reservoir, while the extensive road network, including e0310 RD and n4520 RD, connects these rural Oklahoma communities.
