2014 Map of Okete

About this map

Troy sits at the southern edge of this Lincoln County survey, situated where the North Fork Cuivre River and the Cuivre River converge near Cuivre Heights. The landscape is a mix of agricultural plateaus and deeply carved drainages, such as Indian Nest Hollow and the prominent Frenchmans Bluff overlooking the river valley. Numerous family and community burial sites are scattered throughout the region, including the Old Alexandria Cemetery, Thornhill Cemetery, and Auburn Cemetery, providing a wealth of information for genealogical research. Smaller settlements like Okete and Brussels mark local crossroads, while recreational and conservation areas are anchored by Lake Lincoln and the Girl Scout Lake. The map details a transition from the river bottomlands at Porter Slough to the higher elevations of the surrounding ridges.
