About this map

South Coffeyville sits at the northern edge of this landscape, just south of the state line between Oklahoma and Kansas. The local economy and geography are defined by the winding course of the Verdigris River, which feeds into the northern reaches of Oologah Lake. This riverine environment is dotted with numerous small bodies of water and sloughs, including Chouteau Lake, Melton Lake, and Goose Neck Lake, suggesting a floodplain often influenced by seasonal water levels.

Genealogists and local historians will find several family-named landmarks and resting places, such as Melton Cem and Hickory Creek Cem. The map reveals a rural landscape integrated with early energy extraction, evidenced by scattered Oil Wells and Drill Holes. Terrain features like Crow Hollow and Goose Neck break the regularity of the section lines, while the presence of several Gravel Pits points to local industry tied to the land's geological resources.
