About this map

Nowata serves as the focal point of this northeastern Oklahoma survey, situated at the confluence of local history and modern infrastructure. The landscape is defined by the Western Br Verdigris River and the northern reaches of Oologah Lake, where the terrain is dissected by numerous named drainages including Purgatory Cr, Mormon Cr, and the two forks of Double Creek.

Genealogists will find this sheet particularly valuable for its density of burial sites. Beyond the prominent Nowata Memorial Cem and Lincoln Cem, the map identifies the Armstrong-Journeycake Cem, Taylor Cem, and the uniquely named Family Number 13 Cem. A specific area designated for Relocated Cemeteries indicates the significant landscape changes brought about by local water management and reservoir development in the Verdigris River basin.
