About this map

Sallisaw Creek and the Kansas City Southern railroad corridor define the western edge of this landscape, where the terrain shifts into a series of prominent ridges and hollows. The settlement at Greasy and the surrounding highlands are punctuated by numerous small community centers, including Dahlonegah Sch and Greasy Sch. Significant topographic landmarks such as Dahlonegah Mountain, Welch Mountain, and Doublehead Mountain dominate the horizon, separated by deep drainages like Yellow Spring Hollow and Candy Mink Creek.

Local history and genealogy are well-represented by a network of family-named cemeteries and landmarks. Locations like Chuliawa Cem, Beaver Cem, and Killer Cem are preserved alongside rural worship centers like Kingdom Ch and Guiding Light Ch. The map also reveals industrial and recreational traces, from Lead Mine Hollow to the parks at Dahlonegah Park and Keeler Park, reflecting a mid-20th-century rural Oklahoma community defined by its complex topography and established family ties.
