2016 Map of Catoosa SE

About this map

The Verdigris River carves a deep path through the Oklahoma landscape of Rogers Co and Wagoner Co, defining the character of the region southeast of Inola. This 2016 survey highlights the significant engineering of the McClellan-Kerr Arkansas River Navigation System, anchored by Lock and Dam 18 and the expansive Newt Graham Lake. The river's winding course is flanked by fertile lowlands like Big Bottom, Goodhope Bottom, and Guinn Bottom, which are punctuated by isolated water bodies including Snake Den Lake and Little Long Lake. On the eastern edge of the quadrangle, the Childers Cem offers a point of interest for genealogists tracing local families in this river-oriented community. The contrast between the elevated Snake Den Bluff and the low-lying Brushy Prairie reveals a topography shaped by both natural drainage and modern hydraulic management.
