2019 Map of Hulbert

About this map

Fort Gibson Lake dominates the central portion of this 2019 survey, illustrating the complex shoreline and finger-like inlets that define the western edge of Cherokee County. The landscape is a mix of high-relief terrain and dispersed rural settlements like Eli and Hulbert. Numerous hills and ridges, including Johnny Iron Hill, Peckerwood Hill, and the prominent Flint Ridge, offer a detailed view of the regional topography. For genealogists, the map is particularly valuable for its documentation of small, family-named burial grounds such as Linder Cem, Keener Cem, and Lost City Cem. The drainage patterns are clearly marked by Fourteenmile Creek and Double Spring Creek, which feed into the lake, while naming conventions like Jim Brown Hollow and Abidue Hollow provide a window into the local nomenclature and settlement history of the Ozark foothills.
