About this map

Qualls and the small settlement of White Oak sit within the elevation of the Cookson Hills, where the landscape transitions from high ridges like Grapevine Mtn and Round Top Mtn down toward the winding waters of the Illinois River. This modern survey documents a topography defined by deep drainage hollows and creek beds, including Greenleaf Cr and Burnt Cabin Cr, which carve through the timbered uplands of the Cherokee Co Sequoyah Co line.

Genealogists and local historians can pinpoint several significant burial grounds, such as White Oak Cem, Sellers Cem, and Phillips Cem, often located near these early crossroads communities. To the south, the terrain opens into the northern reaches of Tenkiller Ferry Lake, where the community of Paradise Hill overlooks the impounded river. The intricate road network, from S Burnt Cabin Rd to S Indian Rd, reflects a rural pattern of development shaped by the area's complex hydrology and limestone ridges.
