2022 Map of Stella

About this map

Stella serves as a central landmark in this 2022 survey of the rural landscape where eastern Oklahoma City and Norman meet the Cleveland Co Pottawatomie Co line. The terrain is defined by the winding drainages of Hog Cr and Willow Br, which flow toward the expansive Lake Thunderbird in the southwest corner. The map documents a dense network of sectional roads and rural residential development, including the communities of Bethel Acres and Pink. For genealogists and local historians, several small burial grounds are meticulously preserved, including Stella Cem, Friendship Cem, Knoles Cem, and Pilgrims Rest Cem. These sites, along with named water features like Pecan Cr and S Deer Cr, provide a contemporary look at a landscape transitioning from traditional agriculture to low-density suburban holdings near the state's largest urban centers.
