About this map

Big Skin Bayou and its many tributaries, including Wilson Br and Onion Cr, carve a complex drainage pattern through this section of Sequoyah County. The landscape is defined by a series of prominent elevations such as Wildhorse Mtn, Burrow Mtn, and Krumpe Mtn, which rise sharply above the surrounding valley floors. The settlement pattern is largely rural, centered on the incorporated town of Gans and the community of Muldrow, with smaller hamlets like Blackjack and Akins scattered along the local road network.

Family history is well-preserved through numerous burial sites, from the larger Gans Cem to smaller family plots such as the Duncan Cem, Johnson Cem, and Ellis Cem. The presence of several water control structures, including Sallisaw Creek Site 39 Reservoir, indicates a managed landscape focused on watershed protection. This 2016 survey also documents the local transport infrastructure, ranging from major routes like Sequoyah St to descriptive rural roads like Cpr Josh Hunt Rd.
