About this map

Porum sits at the intersection of a grid-style street network and the rural roads of Muskogee County, positioned just north of the Canadian River. This 2012 survey captures the area’s distinct geography, where the river's path is carved between Taylor Bluff and Sandy Ridge. To the west, the expansive waters of Eufaula Lake dominate the landscape, while smaller features like Porum Lake provide local landmarks for the town.

Family history and local heritage are well-preserved through several named burial grounds, including Starr Cem, Hi Early Cem, and Coleman Cem. The terrain is marked by notable elevations such as Hi Early Mtn and Black Haw Mtn, alongside the interesting geological formation of Porum Gap. The map also traces the winding course of Belle Starr Cr, which flows through the central portion of the quadrangle, linking the upland hills to the river bottomlands.
