About this map

Muskogee and its southeastern surroundings are defined by the convergence of industrial infrastructure and the lowlands of the Arkansas River valley. The city’s residential grid, including neighborhoods like Grandview Heights, transitions into a landscape carved by winding waterways such as Coody Cr and Salt Cr. Notable for genealogists are the rural burial grounds that dot the periphery, including Frozen Rock Cem to the north and Hammer Cem situated near the eastern bluffs.

Aviation and topography shape the southern half of the map, where the sprawling grounds of Davis Field and the smaller Bluebird Airport occupy the flat terrain west of Brushy Mountain. To the east, the map captures the wide expanse of the Webbers Falls Reservoir and the fertile River Bottom, illustrating the relationship between the regional watershed and the historical development of settlements like Fort Gibson. This document provides a clear look at the modern road network and land use patterns just before the late 2010s.
