About this map

Tullahassee and the northern reaches of Muskogee define this landscape where the Arkansas River and Verdigris River converge. The topography is dominated by Agency Hill and Fern Mountain, creating a natural gateway between the historic creek systems of Pecan Creek and Big Creek. This 2019 survey captures the developed edge of the city transitioning into the rural township lines of t16n r17e and T16n R18e.

Genealogists will find a high density of burial sites across the quadrangle, including the Memorial Park Cemetery, Booker T Washington Cemetery, and Mount Bethel Cemetery. The map detail traces the modern transportation corridor of the Muskogee Turnpike as it cuts across the river valley, juxtaposed against the established recreational area of Honor Heights Lake. This documentation of the river plain and its surrounding elevations provides a clear look at the region's contemporary infrastructure and settlement patterns.
