2016 Map of Counts

About this map

Ti Valley and the surrounding high ridges of the Choctaw Nation's historical territory dominate this landscape in southeastern Oklahoma. The map focuses on the small settlements of Counts and Weathers, which are connected by a network of rural routes such as Burris Valley Rd and N418 Rd. The area is notably dense with small family or community burial sites, including the Nace Cem, Smith Cem, and Baker Cem, often located near seasonal watercourses like Hogeye Cr and North Jackfork Creek. The topography is defined by significant elevation changes, from the depths of Rush Canyon and Yellowjacket Hollow to the prominent heights of Jackfork Mtn. This distribution of cemeteries and isolated farm roads reflects a long-standing pattern of dispersed upland settlement in the rugged terrain between Pittsburg and Latimer counties.
