About this map

The Arkansas River carves a sweeping path through the southern half of this landscape, separating the broad agricultural flats of Kadashan Bottom from the elevations of Stone Bluff and the Conjada Mountains. In the early 1960s, the area's economy is clearly defined by natural resource extraction, with numerous Oil Wells and Gas Wells dotting the hills and river plains. The city of Coweta serves as the regional hub, situated at the junction of the Missouri-Kansas-Texas railroad line.

Genealogists will find this sheet particularly valuable for its density of rural burial grounds and family landmarks. Beyond the larger Odd Fellow Cem and Memorial Park Cem, the map identifies several smaller sites such as Tiger Cem, Kelley Cem, and Jackson Grove Cem. Religious life is anchored by country churches including Wilson Chapel and Shahan Ch, while the Prairie Grade Sch remains a focal point for the surrounding farming community.
