About this map

Whiskey Knob rises as a prominent landmark in this section of Pittsburg County, overlooking a landscape defined by an extensive network of water management and rural corridors. The terrain is notably marked by a series of engineered catchments, including Dr Number 4 Reservoir, Rocket Lake, and the specifically designated Brushy Peaceable Cr Site 37 Reservoir. These features, along with the headwaters of N Boggy Cr and Peaceable Cr, suggest a region heavily shaped by agricultural irrigation and soil conservation efforts common in this part of Oklahoma.

Local history is anchored by the Memorial Cem and named topographic features such as Big Prairie Ridge and Coal Hill. The road network follows a structured grid, with named routes like Ashland Rd and Stanton Rd providing access to the distributed rural homesteads. This map captures the modern character of the McAlester vicinity, where traditional landforms and contemporary water resources intersect.
