About this map

Council Hill stands as the primary settlement in this corner of eastern Oklahoma, where the boundaries of Muskogee, McIntosh, and Okmulgee counties converge. The landscape is defined by the High Spring Mountains in the west and the southern reach of Eufaula Lake, which influences the local drainage through Gentry Cr and Putty Cr. This modern survey details the local road network connecting rural homesteads, such as E 1010 Rd and Wainwright Rd.

Genealogists and local historians can locate several important burial sites, including the Council Hill Cem just outside the main township and the Hitchita-Lackey Cem near the town of Hitchita. These established cemeteries, along with Ridley Cem, provide a clear view of the settlement patterns and family legacies in this prairie and creek-riven terrain. The map also identifies the specific water sources like High Spring that likely drew early inhabitants to the area.
