2010 Map of Checotah

About this map

Checotah serves as the primary hub of this eastern Oklahoma landscape, where the convergence of major transit corridors meets the expansive waters of Lake Eufaula. The 2010 geography is defined by the massive impoundment of the Deep Fork and North Canadian River, which dominates the western half of the quadrangle. This area reveals a complex shoreline integrated with recreation and infrastructure, including the Fountainhead Lodge Airpark and numerous municipal water projects like Checotah City Lake West and Checotah City Lake East. Settlement patterns outside the main town are sparse, with the small community of Onapa located to the south near the Onapa Lake Dam. Local history and genealogy are anchored by the Richard Cemetery near the lake's edge and Green Lawn Cemetery south of the city. The map also traces the natural drainage of the territory through several named tributaries, including Elk Creek, Nellie Creek, and Carr Creek, which flow toward the reservoir.
