About this map

Vian serves as the primary hub in this Oklahoma landscape, situated at the intersection of a developing road network and the natural path of Vian Creek. The terrain is defined by the expansive waters of the Robert S Kerr Reservoir and the Arkansas River, which dominate the southern half of the map. This area shows a transition from the elevated peaks of Potato Knob and Wolf Mountain to the low-lying alluvial plains of Sandtown Bottom and Saylor Bottom.

Genealogists will find significant value in the distribution of local burial grounds, including the Vian Cemetery, Drake Stand Cemetery, and Tamaha Cemetery across the river. Small settlements like McKey and Tamaha illustrate the rural community structure of the early 21st century, while infrastructure such as the Sallisaw Creek Site 2 Dam and the Neversweat Too Airport reflect the engineering and transportation needs of the region.
