About this map

Industrial and rural landscapes intersect in this Wagoner County survey, where the Strip Mines dominate the western terrain along the banks of Adams Creek. The settlement of Oneta serves as a central point along the Missouri-Kansas-Texas railroad line, surrounded by a network of one-room schoolhouses and community churches that defined mid-century life in eastern Oklahoma.

Genealogists can trace family footprints through numerous small burial grounds including Smith Cem, Springtown Cem, and Bailey Cem. The educational landscape is particularly well-documented, featuring sites such as Oak Grove School, Sunnyside School, and Blue Springs School. To the east, the terrain opens into the Big Bottom area near the Verdigris River valley, while the presence of scattered oil wells and drill holes indicates the ongoing extraction economy of the 1960s.
