About this map

The Canadian River cuts a wide, braided path through this portion of eastern Oklahoma, serving as the natural boundary between Muskogee Co and Haskell Co. The landscape is defined by the river’s extensive wetlands and its many tributaries, including Taloka Creek and Kings Creek. Near the southern edge, the community of Whitefield and the western outskirts of Stigler show the intersection of local commerce and agriculture.

For genealogists and family historians, this survey is exceptionally detailed regarding local burial sites. Scattered across the hills and riverbanks are numerous family and community landmarks, such as Cramp Cem near Simms, Briartown Cem in the settlement of Briartown, and the remote McClure Cem. Notable elevations like Turkey Knob rise above the drainage basins of Briartown Cr, providing a clear view of the rural road network that connects these historic settlements.
