About this map

McAlester and the adjacent coal-town communities define the landscape of this 2016 survey, where the urban grid of the city meets the more dispersed settlements of Krebs, Alderson, and Bache. The map details a transition from the industrial and transportation corridors of the S George Nigh Expy and Hwy 69 Frontage Rd to the more rural, topographical features of the Choctaw Nation's traditional territory.

Genealogists and local historians can trace numerous burial grounds throughout the quadrangle, from the large Oak Hill Cem and Calvary Cem on the western edge to the more secluded Red Oak Cem and High Hill Cem in the east. The terrain is marked by significant water features including the southern reaches of Eufaula Lake and the Canadian River, while landmarks like Buck Hill and Pine Knob provide elevation context for the region's diverse geography.
