2012 Map of Welty

About this map

Welty and the surrounding rural landscapes of Okfuskee County are defined by a grid of section-line roads and numerous small family and community burial grounds. This 2012 survey captures several concentrated settlements, including Chilesville, Ixl, and the northern edge of Boley along Minnie Ave. The topography is shaped by the drainage networks of Little Walnut Cr and Spring Cr, which feed into engineered water management features such as the Okfuskee Tributaries Site W-8 Reservoir. For genealogists and local historians, the map is particularly useful for locating smaller sites like Grant Chapel Cem and Find Cem, which sit isolated among the creeks. The presence of Red Bird Lake and multiple reservoirs highlights the area's modern reliance on controlled water resources within the Oklahoma plains.
