About this map

The Arkansas River corridor and the expansive Robert S Kerr Reservoir dominate this landscape, where the borders of Sequoyah, Haskell, and Le Flore counties converge. The terrain is defined by distinct elevations like Short Mtn and Gingle Mtn, rising above the fertile floodplains of Mulehead Bottom and Blaine Bottom. This area preserves several small communities, most notably Cowlington and Brent, which serve as anchors for local genealogy research.

Transport and topography are closely linked here, with Kerr Blvd skirting the reservoir's eastern edge. Numerous rural cemeteries, including Short Mountain Cem and Cache Cem, are scattered across the quadrangle, marking the long-standing settlements near watercourses like Cache Cr and McCann Creek. The map reflects a region where the managed waters of the reservoir have reshaped the traditional river valley while leaving the prominent knobs and ridges intact.
