2022 Map of Rose

About this map

Rose and Little Rock anchor this survey of the Ozark foothills, where the borders of Mayes, Delaware, and Cherokee counties converge. The landscape is defined by the winding drainages of Snake Cr and Bryant Cr, which carve through the plateau toward Chimney Rock Lake in the north. This modern snapshot of the region reveals a rural landscape deeply rooted in family and community history, evidenced by the distribution of local burial grounds like Rose Cem and Elm Grove Cem. The settlement pattern follows the contours of the land, with homes and structures clustered near water sources and along established routes like n4480 RD. To the south, the terrain becomes more pronounced at Blacksmith Hollow, while Spring Cr flows through the southwestern corner, illustrating the complex hydrology that has shaped agricultural and residential life in this part of Oklahoma.
