About this map

Fort Gibson sits at the heart of this landscape, positioned near the confluence of the Neosho River and Bayou Manard. The area is defined by the significant infrastructure of the Fort Gibson Dam, which regulates the waters of Fort Gibson Lake along the boundary of Wagoner and Cherokee counties. The terrain transitions into a series of named ridges and hollows, such as Norwood Mtn and Deadman Hollow, reflecting the complex topography of eastern Oklahoma.

Genealogists will find a wealth of local landmarks, including the Fort-Gibson Citizen's Cem, Andersons Cem, and Walker Cem. The map preserves several local routes like Glendale School Rd, hinting at former community centers. Other water features such as Fourmile Br and Walker Br carve through the land, passing by historical sites like Starnes Cem and Anderson Cem in the rural reaches south of the dam.
