About this map

North Canadian River meanders through this portion of eastern Oklahoma, carving a wide valley between the rugged uplands of Ryals and Welleetka. The settlement of Hanna sits in the southern portion of the quadrangle, anchored by its proximity to the modern Indian Nation Toll Road (Turnpike). This era of mapping documents a landscape shaped by both spiritual and educational community centers, evidenced by a dense concentration of local institutions.

Local history is preserved through numerous rural landmarks, including Yardeka Ch and its accompanying Yardeka Sch in the north. The presence of Hickory Ground No 1 Ch and Hickory Ground No 2 Ch suggests the historical significance of the Muscogee Creek tribal town sites in the area. Further south, the terrain rises toward Red Hill, where the Red Hill Cem overlooks the surrounding hollows and creek beds, including Wolf Creek and Rattlesnake Hollow.
