1972 Map of Webbers Falls NE

About this map

Tenkiller Ferry Lake dominates the southeastern quadrant of this orthophotomosaic, its flooded fingers reaching deep into the wooded draws of eastern Oklahoma. Prepared from 1972 aerial photography by the U.S. Geological Survey, this sheet provides a photographic record of the terrain character and land-use patterns just decades after the reservoir's creation. The landscape is a mix of dense forest and cleared parcels, with the small settlement of White Oak situated on the higher ground to the northeast. To the west, the stream of Greenleaf winds through the hills, illustrating the drainage patterns that define this section of the Cookson Hills region. The lack of dense road networks suggests a sparsely populated area where natural features and the rising waters of the lake dictate the local geography.
