About this map

Deep Fork meanders through the southern half of this landscape, its complex oxbows and floodplains defining a terrain marked by numerous water bodies like Flag Lake, Brushy Lake, and Saumill Lake. This Okmulgee County region preserves a high density of ancestral sites, including the Isparhecher Cem and the Barnes Family Cem, alongside the small settlements of Dentonville, Edna, and Nuyaka.

The northern section shows the engineered hydrology of the Little Deep Fork Cr Site 53 Reservoir and the drainage of Cornelys Br. The map reveals a transition from the agricultural grid of roads like Herrick Rd and Howard Rd to the more organic, river-dictated topography of the southern basins. This 2012 survey provides an essential view of the local cemetery network, including Old Nuyaka Cem and Tuskegee Cem, which are critical for genealogical research in this part of Oklahoma.
