2012 Map of Locust Grove

About this map

Locust Grove serves as the primary hub of this Mayes County landscape, situated just south of the sprawling waters created by the Robert S Kerr Dam on the Neosho River. The map documents a rural network of family-named landmarks and small communities that have long defined this portion of eastern Oklahoma. Genealogists and local researchers can locate several significant burial grounds, including the Haner Cem, Bryan Cem, and Hogan Cem, which are scattered among the creek-fed hills. The geography is intricately carved by waterways like Crutchfield Br, Snake Cr, and Spring Cr, which converge near the settlements of Ballou and Iron Post. The infrastructure of the early 21st century is visible in the alignment of the Mayes Bridge and the grid of county roads that connect the outlying areas of Murphy to the central town center.
