About this map

Marble City sits at the heart of this landscape, its grid defined by streets like Ottawa Ave, Peoria St, and Cherokee St. The area's topography is marked by a sequence of named peaks, including Quarry Mtn to the north and the cluster of Andes Mtn, Grapevine Mtn, and Schoolhouse Mtn further south. These high points hem in the drainage basins of Sallisaw Cr and Brushy Cr, which feeds into the Brushy Cr Reservoir.

For local history researchers, the map provides precise locations for the Dwight Mission and several burial grounds, such as Marble City Cem, Dwight Cem, and McCoy Cem. The abundance of specific place names for terrain, such as Flute Springs, Trot Hollow, and Bird Flat, indicates a rural landscape where natural landmarks served as primary points of orientation for the community well into the early 21st century.
