About this map

Lake Konawa dominates the central landscape of this Seminole County survey, its sprawling shoreline reflecting the post-war industrial development of the region. Adjacent to the lake, the Power Plant and nearby Substation mark the infrastructure supporting the local economy. The terrain is divided by the Canadian River, which meanders along the southern border, marking the boundary between Seminole and Pontotoc Counties.

Genealogists will find a wealth of local landmarks, from the small settlements of Vamoosa and Tyrola to numerous family-named burial grounds like Moppin Cem and Burgess Cem. Educational and spiritual life is anchored by sites like Summers Chapel Sch and Seminole Arkeba Ch. The land is further defined by the Atchison and Santa Fe railroad line and an extensive Oil Field, illustrating the area's dual reliance on transportation and natural resources.
