About this map

Coweta serves as the primary hub of this Wagoner County landscape in the early 1960s, its street grid bounded by the Missouri-Kansas-Texas railroad. The region is heavily defined by its natural topography and resource extraction, with the winding Arkansas River cutting through Kadashan Bottom and separating the northern settlements from the Concharty Mountains and the village of Stonebluff. Extensive oil and gas development is evident throughout the terrain, marked by numerous oil wells and drill holes scattered across the Shahan and Lone Star areas.

Local history and genealogy are deeply rooted in the rural landscape, which is dotted with family-named burial grounds and community landmarks. Researchers can find several historic sites, including the Odd Fellow Cemetery, Prairie State School, and Wilson Chapel. The map also captures the transport network of the era, from the Midland Valley road to the various creek systems like Coweta Creek and Concharty Creek that drain into the Arkansas.
