About this map

The Verdigris River snakes through the heart of this Nowata County landscape, creating a series of dramatic meanders such as Hancock Bend. This section of northeastern Oklahoma is characterized by its wide floodplains and distinctive elevated landforms, including Steamboat Mound and Rogers Mound. The settlement of Childers serves as a small hub for the surrounding agricultural community, which is connected by a grid of rural routes like e0170 RD and n4190 RD.

Genealogists will find this 2010 survey particularly valuable for its record of family and community burial grounds dispersed across the river valley. From the Buffalo Cemetery near Tully Hill to the Goodtraveler Cemetery and Ball Cemetery, the map preserves the locations of many historical internments. Crossings such as the Hancock Bridge provide critical links over the river, while smaller tributaries like Fool Creek and California Creek drain the fertile bottoms.
