About this map

Grand Lake O' the Cherokees dominates the northeastern landscape of this 2019 survey, where the waters are held by a massive dam at Langley. This modern-era map provides an intricate look at the residential and recreational infrastructure of northeastern Oklahoma, centering on the junction of the Neosho River and Spavinaw Creek. The settlement of Disney sits on a narrow peninsula between the lake and the riverbed, while to the south, Spavinaw Lake stretches eastward toward the boundary of Mayes and Delaware counties.

Genealogists and local historians can locate several burial grounds preserved amidst the region's development, including Military Cem in the northwest and Spavinaw Cem near the town center. The map details the transition from rural roads such as Hill Rd and Hogan Rd to the established street grids of Spavinaw, which includes family-named landmarks like Tag Hollow and Black Hollow. This study effectively documents the contemporary layout of these lakeside communities and their surrounding timbered terrain.
