2016 Map of Welty

About this map

Boley and the surrounding Okfuskee County landscape are defined by a network of small creeks and rural burial grounds in this 2016 survey. The map details the transition from the structured street grid of Boley, including Leftwich St and Minnie Ave, to the section-line roads of the countryside. Local history is deeply embedded in the terrain through family and community landmarks such as Grant Chapel Cem, Find Cem, and Valley Grove Cem. Water management is a prominent feature of the modern landscape, evidenced by the numerous reservoirs and larger bodies like Red Bird Lake. Small settlements like Welty, Chilesville, and the interestingly named Ixl anchor the surrounding rural road network. This topographical study captures the enduring rural character of the region as it navigates the water-rich drainages of Spring Cr and Walnut Creek.
