2022 Map of Lake McAlester

About this map

Lake McAlester serves as the central focal point of this Oklahoma landscape, its northern reaches defined by the irregular fingers of its shoreline. To the southwest, the Tannehill Prairie marks a transition in the terrain, while the northern section is dominated by the prominence of Bald Mtn. The drainage network across this region is dense, with Bald Mountain Cr, Medicine Cr, and Rock Creek carving through the Pittsburg County hills. Local history is anchored by the Shady Grove Cem located in the eastern portion of the quadrangle. The map details a rural infrastructure of named section line roads and smaller water management projects like the Caston Mountain Cr Site 4 Reservoir, illustrating how the landscape has been shaped for utility and local industry in recent decades.
