About this map

The historical Cherokee Nation capital region south of Tahlequah is depicted here, dominated by the waters of Tenkiller Ferry Lake and the significant cultural sites of Park Hill. This area is dense with genealogical markers, including the Park Hill Mission Cem and Ross Cem, which anchor the local history of prominent families. The landscape transitions from the residential developments of Indian Meadows and the cultural heritage at Tsa La Gi Indian Village to the dramatic bluffs along the Illinois River valley.

Elevations rise sharply at Park Hill Mtn and Short Mtn, while the southern reaches follow the shoreline of Pettit Bay. The map traces the intricate network of county roads that connect the settlements of Keys, Welling, and Pettit, providing a detailed look at the rural infrastructure and land use surrounding the reservoir. Notable landmarks such as Boy Scout Bluff and Alum Bluff overlook the winding water, illustrating the intersection of recreation and rugged Oklahoma geography.
