About this map

Sasakwa sits at a geographic and historical crossroads where the hills of Seminole County and Pontotoc County meet. The landscape is marked by the Approximate Old Indian Boundary, a remnant of tribal land divisions that runs alongside the sweeping curves of the Canadian River. To the north, the Little River and its tributaries like Salt Creek and Clear Creek carve through the terrain, supporting a network of rural life defined by family-named cemeteries and community anchors.

Genealogists will find a wealth of specific locations including Old Mission Cem, Sextonville Cem, and Tiger Cem, reflecting the diverse heritage of the region. The map also documents the industrial footprint of the era, from the sprawling Oil Field and numerous Oil Wells to the St Louis San Francisco railroad lines that connected these remote settlements to wider markets. Rural education and worship are preserved through labels for Gully Sch and Spring Ch, providing a detailed record of the social infrastructure before later 20th-century consolidation.
