About this map

Chloeta and the surrounding Delaware County landscape are defined by a complex network of reservoirs and narrow hollows. The settlement pattern here reflects the mid-century transformation of the region's hydrography, with the large expanse of Grand Lake O' the Cherokees to the north and the tucked-away Spavinaw Lake and Lake Eucha to the south. Between these waters, the land rises into prominent features like Mose Ridge and the Hillside area near Drowning Creek.

Family and local history researchers will find several significant burial sites, including Mose Ridge Cem and Yellow Tree Cem. The distinct naming of Old Eucha, Eucha, and New Eucha illustrates the shifts in community centers over time, often necessitated by reservoir construction. Transport in the area is a mix of rural section-line roads and the small Disney Airport, while numerous drainages like Summerfield Cr and Woodspring Br carve through local hollows such as Ghost Hollow and Round Spring Hollow.
