About this map

Okmulgee Lake and its intricate northern shoreline dominate this landscape, where distinctive landmarks like Lions Point, Carpenters Point, and Seascout Point define the recreational and topographical character of the reservoir. To the east, the terrain is shaped by the winding course of the Deep Fork river and numerous tributaries including Salt Cr, Honey Cr, and Montezuma Cr. The map reveals a rural network of county roads and section lines connecting small settlements and historical sites.

Local history and genealogy are anchored by several notable burial grounds, such as Indian Cem, Sharp Cem, and Edwards Cem, which are scattered throughout the countryside. The southern portion of the map includes the community of Wilson and the settlement of Sunrise, providing a detailed look at this part of Okmulgee County. Large tracts of land are preserved within the Okmulgee Wildlife Area, maintaining the natural state of the Oklahoma brush and river bottomlands.
