About this map

The Illinois River winds southward through this portion of Sequoyah County, forming a geographic spine between Tenkiller Lake to the north and the confluence with the Arkansas River at the southern edge. The town of Gore serves as the primary hub, situated near the riverbanks where Gore Landing provides water access. The landscape is characterized by prominent high points such as Linder Mtn, Beetle Bluff, and Sausbee Mtn, which define the rugged topography surrounding the river valley.

Local history is deeply embedded in the land through numerous family and community burial grounds, including Still Cem, Stevenson Cem, and Tee Hee Cem. Small settlements like Notiechtown and Redbird Smith are scattered across the quadrangle, connected by a network of rural roads that cross various tributaries like Red Bird Smith Cr and Brushy Br. This map illustrates the intersection of recreation at Aqua Park with the established residential patterns of this riverfront region.
