About this map

The Canadian River cuts a wide path through the southern half of this Oklahoma landscape, marking the boundary between Seminole and Pontotoc counties. Near the river's bend, the town of Francis is defined by a grid of local roads like Francis Rd and Hill-Billy Hill Rd, serving as a hub for the surrounding rural homesteads. To the north, Sasakwa sits at the intersection of several county routes, with its residential streets including Broadway and E Florence St clustered near the Little River drainage system.

Genealogists will find an exceptional concentration of family and community burial sites scattered across the hills, such as the Old Mission Cem, Francis Cedar Grove Cem, and Saktehke Cem. The presence of numerous small cemeteries like Cummins Cem, Milly Cem, and Fixico Cem suggests a deeply rooted local history of family allotments and early settlements. The terrain is further characterized by landmarks such as Rocky Point and small aviation strips like Pheasant Wings Airport, illustrating the modern rural character of the region.
