About this map

The Illinois River sweeps across the southwestern corner of this Oklahoma landscape, anchoring a network of winding waterways and named hollows. In the early 21st century, small settlements like Tailholt, Barber, and Wauhillau remain connected by a grid of rural roads, including S Welling Rd and N 4630 Rd. The terrain is defined by prominent elevations such as Sugar Mountain and Hungry Mountain, which overlook deep-set features like Negro Jake Hollow and Smith Hollow.

Genealogists and local historians can find significant burial sites distributed throughout the area, including Barber Cemetery near the river and Stony Point Cemetery to the northeast. The hydrography is equally detailed, tracing the paths of Bidding Creek and Caney Creek as they navigate the ridges of Rocky Mountain and Sanders Mountain. This survey provides a clear view of the rural homesteads and agricultural routes that characterize this portion of Cherokee County.
