2019 Map of Childers

About this map

The Verdigris River carves a winding path through this portion of Nowata County, creating prominent topographical landmarks like Hancock Bend and providing a focal point for the surrounding rural landscape. This 2019 survey documents the settlement of Childers, where the intersection of local roads meets the river's influence. Family and community history is preserved across numerous burial sites scattered throughout the terrain, including Childers Cem, Lowrey Cem, and the Goodtraveler Cem. Notable elevations such as Steamboat Mound and Tully Hill break the landscape, while the river is spanned by the Hancock Bridge. The presence of several small lakes like Stone Lake and Taylor Lake further defines the local geography, illustrating the enduring relationship between the community and its water resources in northeastern Oklahoma.
