About this map

Brushy Indian Baptist Cemetery serves as a significant genealogical landmark in this section of southeastern Oklahoma, situated near the southern banks of Brushy Creek. The landscape is defined by a dense network of tributaries, including Peaceable Creek, Gardner Creek, and Wolf Creek, which create a complex drainage pattern across the region. In the southeast corner, the elevation rises toward New State Mountain, a prominent terrain feature that contrasts with the creek-fed lowlands. The rural road system follows a grid-like pattern typical of mid-continent development, with routes like Peaceable Rd, Bache Rd, and High Hill Rd connecting dispersed homesteads and providing access to these vital water sources. This 2009 survey reflects the enduring rural character of Pittsburg County, where the interaction between small-scale agriculture and the rugged geography of the Choctaw Nation territory remains evident.
