About this map

Brushy Mountain and Rocky Mountain dominate the northern landscape of this Sequoyah County survey, where the terrain transitions into the creek-carved lowlands of the southern half. The map identifies the historic Home of Sequoyah, a site of immense cultural significance located near Sequoyah Cem and Big Skin Bayou. This area serves as a focal point for Cherokee history, anchoring the community of Akins and its surroundings.

Local life centers on the small settlements of Brushy and Akins, connected by roads that wind past Brushy Sch, Prices Chapel, and several family and community landmarks. Genealogists will find value in the precise locations of the Brushy Cem and Akins Cem. The drainage patterns, including Little Sallisaw Creek and Brushy Creek, define the agricultural and residential layout of the region during the early 1970s.
