2016 Map of Christie

About this map

Spade Mountain and its namesake Spade Mountain Cem anchor the southwest corner of this Ozark plateau landscape, where high ridges are deeply etched by narrow hollows and creeks. The primary drainage of the Baron Fork cuts through the center, connecting settlements like Proctor and Christie along the highway corridor. For local historians, this survey preserves a dense network of family-named burial grounds and small communities, including Whitmire, Wauhillau, and West Peavine, reflecting the rural settlement patterns of eastern Oklahoma. The topography is defined by significant features like Walkingstick Mtn and numerous drainages such as Peacheater Cr and Peavine Cr. Modern water management is visible in the Westville Reservoir and specialized catchments like Scraper Hollow Creek Site 1 Reservoir, which illustrate the region's adaptation to the terrain.
