2012 Map of Cookson

About this map

The community of Cookson sits on the eastern shores of Tenkiller Lake in this 2012 topographic record of the Cookson Hills region. This area of eastern Oklahoma is defined by a landscape where the lake's flooded valleys create a jagged shoreline of peninsulas and high vantage points like Cookson Bluff and Turkey Bluff. Transport and recreation are central to the area's layout, highlighted by the presence of the Tenkiller Lake Airpark and the Snake Creek Wilderness Airport further south. The map documents numerous family-named peaks including Griffin Mtn, Canoe Mtn, and Buckhorn Mtn, alongside local burial sites at the Cookson Cem. The road network is dense with small, numbered local routes that serve the various ridges and hollows, such as Ballew Ridge and Pine Hollow, illustrating the modern residential sprawl along the waterfront and surrounding timbered highlands.
