About this map

Spavinaw Hills State Game Refuge dominates the northeastern corner of this landscape, where the Spavinaw Hills meet the edge of Spavinaw Lake. The area reflects early 1970s infrastructure and conservation efforts, centered around the managed waters of the Neosho River and Lake Hudson. Along the banks of the Neosho, the City of Tulsa Water Intake and the Powerplant Penstocks signify the region's importance for regional utilities and power generation.

Evidence of local rural life is preserved through landmarks such as the Wickliffe Sch and several country churches, including Blue Springs Ch and New Jordan Ch. For genealogists, the Ross Mayes Cem provides a specific point of family history. The topography is defined by the winding paths of Saline Creek and Wickliffe Creek, which carve through the hollows like Chimney Rock Hollow before joining the main river system.
