About this map

Langley and Disney sit at the northern edge of this landscape, positioned where the Neosho River exits the expansive Grand Lake O' the Cherokees. The river flows south through a series of impoundments, creating a complex water system that includes Lake Hudson and the eastern arm of Spavinaw Lake. These reservoirs define the modern geography of Mayes County, where the town of Spavinaw serves as a gateway to the southern lake.

Genealogists and local historians can find several burial sites preserved across this changing landscape, from the Military Cem in the north to West Cem and Spavinaw Cem. Significant topographical features like Black Hollow, Tag Hollow, and Chicken Hollow mark the rugged inlets of the southern reservoir. The map also delineates the Mayes Co and Delaware Co boundary as it intersects the communities of Disney and Tia Juana.
