About this map

Atoka Reservoir dominates the western landscape of this 2016 survey, while the eastern terrain transitions into the high ground of Black Knob Ridge. The topography is defined by significant natural passages such as Grants Gap and Sand Gap, which have historically influenced movement through the corridor. The area's cultural history is notably preserved through its numerous burial grounds, including the Confederate Cem near the southern edge of the quadrangle.

Settlement patterns center on Stringtown and the northern reaches of Atoka, where roads like N Mississippi Ave follow the natural contours of the valley between the reservoir and the ridges. Genealogists will find a dense cluster of family and community sites, such as the Wells Street Cem and Boggy Bend Cem, tucked into the hills and creek bottoms. The hydrology is complex, with North Boggy Creek and Chickasaw Cr draining the diverse elevations that characterize this part of the county.
