About this map

Krebs and its surrounding coal-country settlements define this portion of Pittsburg County just east of McAlester. This landscape is a mix of small municipal centers like Alderson and Bache, connected by the corridor of Old US Hwy 270. The mapping reveals a high density of local heritage sites, particularly cemeteries such as Oak Hill Cemetery, Calvary Cemetery, and the more remote Carbon Cemetery near the settlement of Carbon.

To the northeast, the waters of Eufaula Lake reach into the quadrangle where Gaines Creek and Mud Creek converge. The terrain is marked by distinctive rises including Pine Knob and Buck Hill, providing a look at the topography that shaped early transportation routes. Numerous small impoundments like Smithson Lake Dam and several unnamed dams suggest a legacy of local water management for agriculture or industry in this corner of Oklahoma.
