2019 Map of Vian

About this map

The town of Vian serves as the focal point of this northern Oklahoma landscape, situated just north of the expansive Robert S Kerr Reservoir. This 2019 survey documents the intricate geography where the river bottoms meet the lower slopes of the Ozark foothills, characterized by prominent elevations such as Wolf Mtn and Potato Knob. The map reveals the relationship between early settlement patterns and the local environment, particularly within the fertile alluvial plains of Sandtown Bottom, Saylor Bottom, and Mulehead Bottom. For genealogists, the map provides precise locations for several regional burial sites including Vian Cem, Drake Stand Cem, and Tamaha Cem. Transport and infrastructure are clearly defined, from the urban grid of Vian with streets like Main St and Schley St to the rural airstrip at Neversweat Too Airport, while the southern reaches across the Sequoyah and Haskell County line showcase the smaller community of Tamaha along Pheasant Cr.
