About this map

Snake Creek and its complex network of tributaries carve through this section of the Ozark plateau where Mayes, Delaware, and Cherokee counties meet. This 2016 survey illustrates the persistent rural character of northeastern Oklahoma, defined by scattered settlements like Rose, Iron Post, and Teresita. The landscape is etched by deep drainages such as Blacksmith Hollow and Bryant Creek, which flow toward larger water bodies like Chimney Rock Lake in the north.

Genealogists and local historians will find value in the precise location of community landmarks, including Rose Cemetery and the more remote Little Rock Cemetery. The map reflects a modern infrastructure laid over historical land patterns, with a grid of county roads such as Jess Mounce Road and E0558 Road providing access to the hollows and upland ridges that have shaped the region's movement and habitation for generations.
