2012 Map of Welch North

About this map

Welch anchors the southwestern corner of this northeastern Oklahoma landscape, where the prairie transitions into the drainage systems feeding into the Grand Lake O' the Cherokees. The area is defined by a dense network of sectional roads and meandering watercourses, including Elm Cr and Russell Cr, which carve shallow paths through the agricultural terrain. Genealogists will find three distinct burial grounds marked: the Welch Cem near the town center, the northern Russell Creek Cem, and the secluded Williams Cem in the southeast. This 2012 survey illustrates the modern rural infrastructure of Craig County, showing how the original land allotments have been maintained through a grid of numbered roads like E 30 RD and S 4440 RD. Tributaries such as Little Cabin Cr and Mud Cr illustrate the watershed's complexity before it reaches the larger reservoir to the east.
