About this map

Chouteau serves as the central hub of this Mayes County landscape, where the agricultural plains of eastern Oklahoma meet the industrial expansion of the Mid-America Industrial Airport. The town's grid expands eastward from its core near Chouteau West Cem, while the surrounding countryside is dotted with smaller communities like Lusta and Mazie. To the southeast, the terrain descends toward the broad waters of the Neosho River and the northern reaches of Fort Gibson Lake, creating a distinct riparian boundary for the area.

Local history is preserved in numerous family-named landmarks and cemeteries, including Sixkiller Cem and Alberty Cem, which reflect the region's deep genealogical roots. The landscape is carved by several watercourses, such as Chouteau Creek and Pryor Creek, which converge as they flow toward the river. This survey captures a mix of traditional rural life and modern infrastructure, evidenced by the interface between established settlements like Murphy and the sprawling utility of the regional airport and its surrounding industrial complex.
