1985 Map of Shawnee

Water management and recreation are prominent features, with several significant reservoirs like Lake Okemah, Wewoka Lake, and Sportsman Lake scattered across the rolling terrain. Smaller rural landmarks, such as Little Cem and Flat Rock Spring, provide essential touchpoints for genealogists and local historians tracing family roots through Pottawatomie Co, Seminole Co, and Okfuskee Co. The transition from river bottomlands to elevations like Bald Mountain and Chimney Rock illustrates the varied topography between the Canadian forks.
