About this map

Lake McAlester and its intricate northern shoreline dominate the central landscape of this Pittsburg County region. The terrain varies from the low-lying Tannehill Prairie in the southwest to the prominent elevation of Bald Mtn in the north. Waterways such as Coal Creek, Medicine Creek, and Rock Creek drain the surrounding hills, highlighting the area's complex hydrology punctuated by the Caston Mountain Cr Site 4 Reservoir.

The settlement of Mekko sits at the southeastern edge, while the transit corridor of the Indian Nation Tpke cuts through the southwestern corner. For those tracing local history, the Shady Grove Cem and a network of named rural roads like Bald Mountain Rd and Dorsey Cem Rd provide essential touchpoints for identifying late 20th-century family properties and land use patterns in this part of Oklahoma.
