2010 Map of Newby

About this map

Tuskegee and Newby serve as the primary anchors for this Creek County landscape, where a sophisticated water management network of reservoirs and dams dominates the local geography. The hydrology of Little Deep Fork Creek is heavily modified by a series of numbered projects, including Little Deep Fork Creek Site 48 Reservoir and Little Deep Fork Creek Site 58b Reservoir, reflecting mid-to-late 20th-century conservation and flood control efforts. These engineered bodies of water, alongside larger features like Jim Day Lake, sit in contrast to the region's older foundations. For genealogists, the placement of Tuskegee Cemetery, Wilson Cemetery, and Mount Harman Cemetery provides essential geographic context for family lineages. The road system, largely following the section lines of the public land survey, creates a rigid grid that connects these water features and small settlements, illustrating the intersection of rural Oklahoma life and state-managed natural resources.
