About this map

The Verdigris River carves through the heart of this Nowata County landscape, shaping a wide valley of wetlands and bottomlands before draining into the northern reaches of Oologah Lake. To the west, the city of Nowata sits at the edge of the survey, serving as a regional hub anchored by the Nowata Municipal Airport. The eastern terrain rises toward the Coker Hills, while the central lowlands are defined by prominent features like Overcup Bottoms and Slate Bluff.

Genealogists and local historians can find several established burial grounds scattered across the rural sections, including Riley Cem, Secondine Cem, Armstrong Cem, and the Brown Cem near Coodys Bluff. The area's hydrology is complex, with the Western Branch Verdigris River and Kentucky Cr feeding into the main channel, illustrating the river-centric development of this Oklahoma region in the modern era.
