About this map

The Oklahoma countryside south of Webbers Falls is defined by a series of prominent peaks and the winding drainage of Dirty Creek. The landscape transitions from the flats of the Arkansas River valley into higher ground marked by Holt Mtn and Barker Mtn, reflecting the varied terrain of the Muskogee County and Haskell County border. This area is notable for its high density of family and community burial grounds, which offer significant value for genealogical research in this part of eastern Oklahoma.

Several small settlements and rural crossroads like Simms serve as anchors for the local geography. Significant watercourses, including South Fork Dirty Creek and Possum Hollow Cr, carve through the elevations of Stanifird Mtn and Harris Mtn. Historical markers of family heritage are scattered throughout the quadrangle, evidenced by names such as Fields Cem, Snake Girty Cem, and Toney Cem, providing a grounded record of the people who have lived along these hills and hollows.
