About this map

The Illinois River and its numerous tributaries dominate this landscape in Delaware County, providing a detailed look at the drainage patterns of the Ozark plateau at the start of the 21st century. The map centers on the winding course of Flint Creek as it moves toward Fidlers Bend, cutting through a series of named hollows including Hazelnut Hollow and Calunchety Hollow. These geological features illustrate the deeply dissected nature of the local terrain before it opens into the broad expanse of Moseley Prairie to the east.

Local history and genealogy are anchored by the Crittende Cemetery located in the southern portion of the quadrangle, near the confluence of several small branches. Transport networks are represented by a grid of numbered section roads, such as n4660 RD and e0530 RD, alongside the path of Old Hwy 33. The map also captures several springs and branches, like Dripping Springs Branch and Blue Spring Branch, which have historically dictated the placement of homesteads in this part of Oklahoma.
