About this map

Evening Shade and Blackgum anchor this rural landscape in the Cookson Hills region north of the Arkansas River. The terrain is defined by a series of distinct peaks including Blackgum Mtn, Chuculate Mtn, and Anderson Mtn, with the drainage of Vian Cr and its tributaries carving through Wells Hollow and Boggy Hollow. This 2012 survey illustrates a network of section-line roads and named routes like Old Mail Route Rd and Moonshine Rd, which hint at the historical transportation patterns of Sequoyah County.

Local history is preserved in several burial grounds such as Cherokee McCoy Cem, Barnisky Cem, and the Vian Garden of Memories. The southern portion of the map transitions into the outskirts of Vian, where Vian Lake and the Old Pump Station Rd indicate the infrastructure supporting this small community. From the remote peak of Lizzard Mtn to the small settlement at Pinhook Corner, the map offers a detailed view of the county's geography.
