2018 Map of Checotah

About this map

Checotah serves as the primary hub of this landscape in McIntosh County, where the street grid expands north of major interstate and state route interchanges. To the south, the settlement of Onapa and the Fountainhead Lodge-Airpark overlook the expansive waters of Eufaula Lake. This 2018 survey reveals the dense network of rural section-line roads, such as E 1100 Rd and N 4210 Rd, that tie together remote homesteads and local landmarks. Several significant burial sites, including the Checotah IOOF Home Cem and Green Lawn Cem, provide important genealogical markers for the area. The hydrology is dominated by the lake's fingers and numerous smaller bodies like Checotah City Lake West and Onapa Lake, while several streams including Nellie Cr and Carr Cr drain the eastern terrain. This record illustrates a modern Oklahoma community shaped by its proximity to one of the state's largest reservoirs.
