About this map

Thompson Corner and Shady Grove anchor the landscape of this Cherokee County survey, where small rural settlements and family cemeteries define the social geography west of the regional hub of Tahlequah. The area is characterized by a high density of historical burial sites, including the Swimmer Baptist Cem, Crittenden Cem, and Mt Zion Cem, often associated with the numerous ridges and knobs that break the terrain.

Hydrological features like Seminary Spring and Ketcher Spring feed the complex network of Double Spring Cr and Pecan Cr, illustrating the importance of reliable water sources in the development of these communities. High ground is marked by named summits such as Stick Ross Mtn, Ogles Mtn, and Bynum Ridge. Near the eastern edge of the map, the Tahlequah Municipal Airport marks a modern infrastructure addition to a landscape otherwise shaped by local rural roads and creek-bottom agriculture.
