About this map

Cromwell anchors the center of this landscape where the borders of Seminole, Okfuskee, and Hughes counties meet. The region is defined by a sophisticated water management system along the Little Wewoka Cr, evidenced by a series of reservoirs including Little Wewoka Site 4 Reservoir, Little Wewoka Site 5 Reservoir, and Little Wewoka Site 6 Reservoir. These sites, along with Cohee Lake to the east, suggest a focus on flood control and resource management in this part of Oklahoma.

Genealogists will find several burial grounds of interest, including Bearden Cem near the settlement of Bearden and the Little Quarsarty Cem located further south. The topography rises toward Bald Mtn in the southern portion of the quadrangle, overlooking the community of Butner. The map's grid-like road network, following section lines with labels such as Ew 1180 RD, provides a clear view of the rural settlement patterns existing in the early 21st century.
