About this map

Sallisaw serves as the focal point of this Eastern Oklahoma landscape, situated where the Arkansas River valley begins to meet the foothills of the Ozarks. The town's grid is dense with residential streets and local landmarks, including the Sallisaw Cem and Sallisaw Municipal Airport. To the south, the massive Robert S Kerr Reservoir dominates the terrain, creating a complex shoreline near the settlements of Sadie and Brent.

Evidence of the region's water management is clear from the numerous flood control structures like Sallisaw Creek Site 4 Reservoir and Sallisaw Creek Site 32 Reservoir. Smaller communities such as McKey and Harrison are scattered throughout the agricultural and timbered lands. Significant topography is noted at Badger Mtn and Wildhorse Mtn, while local genealogy is rooted in sites like Buffington Cem near the Badger Lee area.
