2012 Map of Tailholt

About this map

Tenkiller Lake dominates the southwestern corner of this Oklahoma landscape, where the waters of the Illinois River basin gather near the settlement of Barber. The area is defined by a series of prominent ridges and named depressions, including Sugar Mtn, Hungry Mtn, and the descriptively titled Negro Jake Hollow. Small residential clusters and historic points of interest like Wauhillau and Tailholt are connected by a network of rural roads such as Stone Point Rd and S Welling Rd. Genealogists will find significant value in the mapped locations of local burial grounds, including Stony Point Cem, Caney Cem, and Barber Cem, which anchor the history of these communities. Water remains a central theme across the quadrangle, with Caney Cr and Bidding Cr winding through the hollows, while Bitting Spring and July Spring provide natural landmarks in the northern reaches.
