About this map

Big Prairie Ridge defines the central topography of this Oklahoma landscape, situated southwest of McAlester. This terrain is marked by the headwaters of North Boggy Creek and several significant elevation points including Whiskey Knob to the northwest and Coal Hill to the southeast. The area is characterized by a dense network of rural roads such as Ashland Rd and C Tree Rd, which weave around a series of water management projects including the Rocket Lake Dam and several numbered dams on Deer Creek and Bull Creek.

Genealogists and local historians will find the Memorial Cemetery centrally located among the grid of section roads. The landscape reflects a mix of prairie highlands and managed water resources, including the Burshy Peaceable Creek Site 37 Dam in the eastern portion. The road nomenclature, often using simple designations like Rd 7 and Rd G, underscores the rural, agricultural character of this region during the early 21st century.
