About this map

The community of Peggs sits at a geographic crossroads in the early 1970s, positioned where the terrain transitions toward the rugged drainage of Spring Creek. This area of Cherokee County is defined by its numerous small congregations and water sources, including New Home Ch and Baptist Ch, which served the local farming population. The map reveals a landscape deeply carved by water, with a network of named hollows like Blacksmith Hollow and Yokum Hollow feeding into the larger creek systems.

Further south, the settlement of Gideon is located near the banks of Fourteenmile Creek, which winds toward the southwest. Notable for researchers is the presence of the Peggs Cem and specialized sites like the Fish Farm near the southern boundary. The distribution of Parris Ch and Blue Springs Ch illustrates the localized nature of community life in this part of Oklahoma before the expansion of more modern infrastructure.
