2016 Map of Brushy

About this map

Brushy Mountains dominate the northern landscape of this region, providing a high-relief backdrop to a series of deep drainages including Wildcat Hollow and Sonny Gile Hollow. The settlement pattern is concentrated along the valleys and lower elevations, anchored by the communities of Brushy and Akins. Water management is a defining characteristic of the terrain, with several reservoirs such as Sallisaw Creek Site 22 Reservoir and Sallisaw Creek Site 37 Reservoir modifying the natural flow of Little Sallisaw Cr and its tributaries. For those researching local families, the map is a primary resource for locating rural burial grounds including Northview Cem, Rocky Point Cem, and Sequoyah Cem. The presence of the Old Stagecoach Rd in the eastern section suggests historical travel corridors that predated the modern highway system, while numerous named hollows like Obi Hollow and Mud Spring Hollow reflect long-standing local nomenclature for the folds of the Oklahoma hills.
