About this map

Stella Cemetery and the surrounding rural residential development define this corner of Oklahoma City in the early 21st century. The landscape is structured by a strict section-line grid of roads, including E Franklin Rd and Patterson Dr, which navigate a terrain carved by several significant waterways. To the west, the broad valley of Hog Creek dominates the lowlands, while Willow Branch and Pecan Creek branch out across the central and southern reaches.

Water management is evident through engineering projects like the Upper Black Bear Creek Site 10 Dam and the curiously named Oknoname 103005 Dam. For those researching local family history, the map provides precise locations for both the central cemetery and Knoles Cemetery to the southeast. The transition from traditional agricultural plots to modern subdivisions is visible in the dense network of newer residential lanes like Summerset Ln and Roka Cir.
