About this map

Stidham and the surrounding rural landscape of McIntosh County are defined by the intricate northern reaches of Eufaula Lake. This survey illustrates how the reservoir's rise has reshaped the local geography, creating fingers of water that reach up the valleys of Sharper Cr, Coon Cr, and Possum Cr. Small settlements such as Fame, Vivian, and Carters Corner remain connected by a grid of section-line roads, while the prominent Badger Hill provides a distinct topographic landmark in the west.

For family historians, the map is remarkably dense with burial grounds, including Remsey Cem, Moore Cem, Fame Cem, Hutton Cem, Charles Cem, Polk Cem, and Scott Cem. These sites, often located near old homesteads or historic community centers, provide essential clues for genealogical research in this part of Oklahoma. In the east, the Eufaula Municipal Airport and a network of newer roads like Jackson Way and Rod and Reel near the lakefront indicate more contemporary residential and recreational developments.
