About this map

Atoka Reservoir dominates the lower central portion of this landscape, marking the transition where the waters of Mill Creek and Elm Creek are impounded. Along its eastern shore, the small settlement of Flora sits near Bluestem Lake and the uniquely named Sub-Penitentiary Lake. The topography is defined by the prominent Limestone Ridge that runs northeast to southwest, paralleled by South Boggy Creek. Rural life in this corner of Oklahoma is centered around family and community landmarks, evidenced by Bethel Cem in the north and Cairo Cem near the western edge. The presence of Mail Route Rd and numerous numbered section roads highlights the grid-based land management of the region, while natural features like Phillips Hollow and McEntire Lake offer specific points of interest for local historians and genealogists studying the Coal and Atoka County line.
