About this map

The confluence of three major waterways—the Verdigris River, Arkansas River, and Neosho River—dominates this landscape just northeast of Muskogee. This hydrographic nexus, long a focal point for Oklahoma navigation and trade, is marked by the presence of Fort Gibson and the modern expanse of Webbers Falls Reservoir. The map reveals a dense layering of local history through its numerous burial grounds, including Evergreen Cem, Cherokee Cem, Jamison Cem, and New Hope Cem, which are scattered among small communities like Okay, Wybark, and Gibson.

Institutional and residential development is evident in the inclusion of Bacone, named for the college that shares its identity, and the newer residential layouts around Mallard Bay on the shores of Fort Gibson Lake. The industrial character of the region is grounded by the Water Plant near Hyde Park, while the local topography is punctuated by landmarks such as Tower Hill. This survey provides a precise accounting of the road networks and rural homesteads that define the county boundaries of Wagoner, Muskogee, and Cherokee.
