About this map

The Verdigris River snakes through this 1974 landscape, defined by a complex network of old river channels and the infrastructure of the Oklahoma river-and-rail economy. The eastern edge is dominated by Wagoner, where the Missouri Pacific and Missouri Kansas and Texas railroads intersect, signaling the town's historical importance as a transit hub. Near the city limits, local history is preserved at Elmwood Cem and the Hosp.

Southward, the terrain transitions into the alluvial plains of Tullahassee and Shannon, where the Muskogee Toll Road Turnpike cuts across the river valley. Evidence of rural community life persists in labels for Sandtown Ch, Star Sch, and family-named landmarks like Barber Cem. To the north, Fort Gibson Lake and its associated State Game Management Area reflect the mid-century development of regional water resources and recreation.
