About this map

Tushka sits at the heart of this Atoka County landscape, where the local road network fans out from the US Highway 69 corridor. Small settlements like Cook and Taloah are situated along the southern reaches of the highway, following the natural contours shaped by Clear Boggy Creek and its many tributaries, including Fronterhouse Cr and the winding Big Slough. This geography reflects a rural community structured around family-named landmarks and long-established local routes such as Hickory Hill Rd and Mungle Rd.

Genealogists will find significant value in the distribution of burial grounds throughout the quadrangle. From Wards Chapel Cem in the northwest to High Hill Cem in the south, these sites, along with Plainview Cem and Tushka Cem, provide critical points of reference for tracing local family history. The terrain is further defined by water features like Lain Lake and Sandy Cr, illustrating the drainage patterns that have historically influenced land use and settlement in this portion of Oklahoma.
