About this map

Marble City sits at the heart of this Sequoyah County landscape, surrounded by a complex system of ridges and valleys defined by Sallisaw Creek and its many tributaries. The area's topography is marked by numerous family-named peaks and hollows, including Quarry Mountain, Andes Mountain, and Grapevine Mountain, which together form a natural corridor for the winding Brushy Creek. Central to the drainage and water management of the region is the Brushy Creek Reservoir, along with a series of flood control structures like Sallisaw Creek Site 29 Dam.

Genealogists will find significant value in the distribution of local burial grounds such as Flute Springs Cemetery, Dwight Cemetery, and McCoy Cemetery, which are scattered throughout the rural sections. The map also records the presence of the Barry Dotson Ranch Airport in the east and the historical naming conventions found in places like Negro Mountain and Schoolhouse Mountain, reflecting the area's development and communal land use through the mid-20th century.
