About this map

The Illinois River winds through the eastern side of this landscape, carving through distinct terrain features such as River Bend Hollow and Steely Hollow, where a Waterfall is noted. As the capital of the Cherokee Nation, Tahlequah serves as the central hub of this quadrangle, shown here with its dense grid of streets and residential expansion near the Ross Branch and Tahlequah Creek. Local heritage is anchored by significant burial grounds including Grandview Cemetery, Tahlequah Cemetery, and the more remote Manus Cemetery.

Further south, the landscape opens toward the headwaters of Tenkiller Lake near the Go Ye Mission Campground. The map also captures several recreational and religious retreats along the river corridor, such as Lutherhoma Camp and Heart-Of-Hills Camp. Higher elevations like Sparrow Hawk Mountain overlook the drainage basins of the Baron Fork and Pecan Creek, documenting the area's mix of steep ravines and urban development.
