2016 Map of Webbers Falls

About this map

The Webbers Falls Reservoir dominates this landscape along the border of Muskogee and Sequoyah counties, where the Arkansas River has been transformed by engineering. The presence of Webbers Falls Lock and Dam 16 marks a critical point in the river's modern navigation system, while the surrounding terrain remains deeply tied to local family histories. Numerous burial sites are scattered across the bluffs and hills, including Vaught Cem, Phillips Cem, and Brewer Cem. The town of Webbers Falls sits near the river's bend, while Gore is situated to the east near the base of Sausbee Mtn. The map reveals a transition from the low-lying River Bottom to elevated features like Salt Spring Mtn and Hickory Ridge, illustrating how the waterway dictates the placement of both settlements and infrastructure like the Muskogee Tpke.
