About this map

Leader Creek and its many tributaries define this section of the Oklahoma landscape on the border of Pontotoc and Coal counties. The area is characterized by an extensive network of flood control reservoirs, most notably the numerous numbered basins of the Leader Middle Clear Boggy Creek project, such as Leader Middle Clear Boggy Cr 21 Reservoir and Leader Middle Clear Boggy Cr 14 Reservoir. These engineered water bodies are interspersed with natural drainages like Bois d'Arc Creek and Coon Creek.

Small communities and rural junctions serve as local anchors, including Lula, Leader, and Jaydee. Genealogy researchers will find interest in Lula Cemetery, accessed via Cemetery Road, and the Pleasant Grove Cemetery located near Bois d'Arc Creek. The map documents a rural economy transitioning through the early 21st century, with a grid of county roads like N3670 Road and E1600 Road connecting isolated farmsteads and lakes like Miller Lake and Joe Mayse Lake.
