About this map

Peggs and Gideon anchor this rural landscape in the Cherokee Ozarks, where the drainage patterns of Spring Cr and Fourteenmile Cr have carved a complex network of hollows. The terrain is defined by named depressions like Davis Hollow, Blacksmith Hollow, and Yokum Hollow, which dictate the winding paths of local section-line roads. This 2019 survey documents a landscape where traditional small-town Oklahoma settlements coexist with modern aviation, as evidenced by the Flying J Ranch Airport and John Reid Airport.

Genealogists will find critical landmarks for family research, including the Peggs Cem, New Home Cem, and Blue Springs Cem. The map provides a high-resolution view of the boundary between Mayes and Cherokee counties, as well as the intermittent water sources like Cave Spring and Luck Spring that have long sustained life in these draws. The road network, including Hickory Ave and W Killabrew Rd, remains closely tied to the natural topography of the Ozark foothills.
