2016 Map of Northwest Muskogee

About this map

The Arkansas River and Verdigris River converge in this transition zone between the northern plains and the Cookson Hills, framing the historic settlement of Tullahassee. As one of Oklahoma's oldest towns founded by Muscogee (Creek) freedmen, the area maintains a distinct sense of place through its many community landmarks, including Mount Bethel Cem and the nearby Jacob Morey Cem near Anchor. The topography is defined by the sharp rise of Fern Mtn and Agency Hill, which overlook the northern reaches of Muskogee. This landscape is heavily tied to the movement of water and travelers, where the modern Muskogee Tpke cuts across older sections of the county. In the southern portion of the map, the development of the city is evident near Honor Heights Lake, while numerous burial sites like Booker T Washington Cem and Agency Cem offer significant touchpoints for family historians and researchers tracing the heritage of this river-front region.
