About this map

Sycamore and Indianola anchor the southern and central portions of this 2016 survey, representing the rural landscape of Delaware County. The terrain is defined by a series of creek drainages including Whitewater Cr in the north and Beaty Cr in the south, which cut through the Ozark plateau to form features like Yellow Bird Hollow. The map provides specific locations for three local burial grounds — Indianola Cem, Mount Hermon Cem, and Ward Cem — which are critical for genealogical research in this part of Oklahoma.

Water management and natural terrain are evident in the northern sections, where the Whitewater Cr Reservoir and the uniquely named Wet Prairie distinguish the topography. The road network, composed largely of section-line roads such as Co RD 395 and E 417 RD, illustrates the typical grid-based development and accessibility of these small communities and their surrounding agricultural and wooded lands during the early 21st century.
