About this map

Tenkiller Ferry Lake dominates the southeastern corner of this landscape, its waters filling the Illinois River valley and creating a jagged shoreline of inlets and points. The 1970s terrain is heavily defined by conservation and military use, with the Gruber State Game Management Area and Cookson Refuge preserving the wooded uplands of Grapevine Mountain and Sellers Mountain. Small rural settlements like Qualls and White Oak are tucked away near the northern boundary, while family-named landmarks such as Sellers Cem and Philipps Cem indicate the area's deep-rooted homestead history.

Water plays a central role in the topography, from the meandering Linder Bend Creek and its distinctive Linder Bend to the steep drainages of Sawmill Hollow and Burnt Cabin Creek. To the south, Camp Bell sits near the Cherokee Co and SequoyAH Co line, illustrating the region's varied land management including the Cherokee State Game Refuge and the recreational edge of Burnt Cabin Ridge State Park.
