2010 Map of Salina SE

About this map

Ross Mayes Cemetery and the settlement of Hoot Owl anchor this portion of Mayes County, where the southern reaches of Lake Hudson meet the Neosho River. The landscape is defined by the significant hydrological engineering of the Chimney Rock Dam, which impounds Chimney Rock Lake at the southern edge of the quadrangle. This area is characterized by a dense network of county roads, such as Kenwood Rd and Hoot Owl Rd, that navigate the drainage basins of Wickliffe Creek and Saline Creek. The topography around Chimney Rock Hollow and the branching paths of Little Saline Creek suggest a terrain etched by water, with local routes like Chicken Hollow Rd providing access to more isolated rural sections. Genealogists and local historians can trace family land proximity to these watercourses and the cemetery, which remains a key cultural landmark in this rural Oklahoma landscape.
