About this map

Park Hill serves as a focal point for Cherokee history and culture in this early 1970s survey, featuring the Tsa La Gi Indian Village and Murrell Home Park. The landscape is defined by the winding course of the Illinois River, which feeds into the northern reaches of Tenkiller Ferry Lake. Settlement patterns here show a mix of established residential areas like Green Country Estates and Indian Meadows alongside older, family-named landmarks.

Genealogists can find significant local data points in the numerous burial grounds, including Park Hill Cem, Wooster Cem, and Ross Cem. The presence of the Sequoyah Sch and Cherokee Home Mission reflects the community's educational and social infrastructure. Along the eastern banks of the river, several public use areas such as Carters Landing and Strayhorn Landing Public Use Area mark the region's development as a recreational destination centered on the lake.
