About this map

Okemah serves as the central hub of this Okfuskee County landscape, where a grid of residential streets like W Columbia St and E Broadway St meets the surrounding rural section lines. The town's layout is closely integrated with regional transportation, positioned near the Okemah Flying Field and a network of arterial roads including Old Hwy 62 and Glen D Johnson Rd. To the southwest, the smaller settlement of Bearden sits near the banks of the North Canadian River, which marks the southern boundary of the quadrangle.

Genealogists will find this map particularly valuable for its density of rural burial grounds, reflecting the diverse heritage of the region. Distinctive family and community sites such as Wind Family Cem, Harjo Cem, and Holahla Cem are scattered across the terrain, alongside larger grounds like Highland Cem and Prairie Springs Cem. The landscape is further defined by a series of small reservoirs and winding waterways, including Buckeye Cr and Nuyaka Cr, which drain the rolling agricultural lands between the townships.
