About this map

Tushka anchors this part of Atoka County, serving as a primary settlement along the major north-south transit corridor. The landscape is defined by the winding course of Clear Boggy Cr and its tributaries, including Big Br and Fronterhouse Cr. This survey captures the rural character of the region, where family and community heritage is preserved in numerous burial grounds like Wards Chapel Cem and Plainview Cem. The placement of Taloah and Cook further south illustrates the historic settlement pattern that followed the railroad and water sources through the plains of southern Oklahoma.

Water management and local geography are evident in features such as Big Slough and Lain Lake, which fragment the agricultural grid. Local road names like W Chicken Fight Rd and W Dairy Ln hint at the local culture and agricultural history of the area. For those researching local lineages, the map identifies several distinct cemeteries, including Tushka Cem and High Hill Cem, which are vital landmarks for identifying early homesteads and community centers.
