2018 Map of Porum

About this map

Porum sits at the intersection of a complex drainage system where the Canadian River meets the expansive reach of Eufaula Lake. This survey illustrates a landscape defined by significant elevation changes, from the prominent Tater Hill and Hi Early Mtn to the natural bottleneck of Porum Gap. The map documents the rural character of the region as three counties—Muskogee, McIntosh, and Haskell—converge near the river. Local genealogy is well-supported by the inclusion of multiple burial sites, including Coleman Cem, Hi Early Cem, Starr Cem, and Hoyt Cem. To the south, the settlement of Hoyt and the edge of Whitefield reflect the dispersed community patterns typical of eastern Oklahoma. Named water features like Belle Starr Cr and Tamaha Creek carve through the terrain, illustrating the hydrologic network that feeds into the major river valley and its associated bluffs, such as Taylor Bluff.
