2019 Map of Cookson

About this map

Tenkiller Ferry Lake dominates the center of this landscape in the late 2010s, its winding shoreline creating numerous peninsulas and high bluffs such as Cookson Bluff and Turkey Bluff. The settlement of Cookson sits on the eastern shore, serving as a hub for the recreational and residential developments that define this era, including the Tenkiller Lake Airpark and Cookson Cem. The topography is defined by the steep rises of the Cookson Hills, featuring named peaks like Canoe Mtn, Wildhorse Mtn, and Buckhorn Mtn that overlook the flooded river valleys. Transportation is focused on lake access and local connection, with routes like W Cookson Bend Rd and S Skyline Dr tracing the high ridges. In the northern reaches, Pettit Bay provides another point of access to the water, while southern features like Chicken Creek Island highlight the complex geography created by the reservoir's inundation of the original terrain.
