About this map

Stilwell anchors the eastern edge of this Oklahoma landscape, serving as a gateway to a terrain defined by the foothills of the Ozarks. The area is characterized by several prominent peaks, including Gittin Down Mountain, Goat Mountain, and Coon Mountain, which dictate the winding paths of rural roads and the flow of local waterways. Water management is a visible priority here, evidenced by the Stilwell City Lake and flood control structures like Sallisaw Creek Site 18 Dam and Sallisaw Creek Site 19 Dam along Sallisaw Creek.

Smaller communities and family-named locales such as Marietta, Stony Point, and Mulberry Hollow are scattered throughout the quadrangle, connected by a network of designated county roads. For those researching local heritage, the map identifies numerous burial grounds, including Clear Spring Cemetery, New Hope Cemetery, and Doublehead Cemetery, which are often the only remaining physical markers of earlier family homesteads and settlement patterns in this part of Adair County.
