About this map

Morris stands at the center of this Okmulgee County landscape, where the prairie grid meets a network of creeks and small reservoirs. The map documents several significant burial grounds, including the large Morris Cem south of town, the Sacred Heart Cem near Grayson, and a secluded Indian Cem on the eastern edge of the quadrangle. These sites, along with small communities like Hitchita and Eram, reflect the deep-rooted settlement patterns of the region.

The terrain rises toward the High Spring Mountains in the southeast, contrasting with the drainages of Cussetah Cr, Moore Cr, and Grave Cr. A notable feature is the Sallisaw Cr Site 34 Reservoir, illustrating the mid-century water management efforts that shaped local agriculture. The road network, including Grayson Blvd and Martin Luther King, connects these disparate settlements and rural landmarks across the open plains.
