2016 Map of Grove

About this map

The town of Grove serves as the focal point for this 2016 survey of the Delaware County shoreline, where the intricate fingers of Grand Lake O' the Cherokees meet the Oklahoma prairie. The map documents a landscape defined by its peninsulas and sheltered coves, such as Carey Bay and Dilar Cove, alongside significant islands like Monkey Island and Patricia Island. Inland from the lake, the terrain transitions to rural spaces such as Courthouse Prairie and Sweetwater Prairie, where the small settlements of Zena and Dennis are situated. This geographic record is particularly valuable for its documentation of local heritage sites, including the Zena Cem, Buzzard Cem, and Tauuneacie Cem. The transportation network shown reveals how local roads like E 300 Rd and the Grand Lake Regional Airport support both the residential community of Grove and the recreational economy of the surrounding water bodies.
