About this map

Yeager serves as the central settlement on this Hughes County landscape, situated amidst a sophisticated network of flood control and water management structures. The area is defined by numerous earthen works, including the Big Wewoka Creek Site 40 Dam, Big Wewoka Creek Site 41 Dam, and Big Wewoka Creek Site 42 Dam, which regulate the tributaries of the Wewoka Creek watershed. These engineered features reflect a mid-to-late 20th-century emphasis on conservation and agricultural stability in Oklahoma's rural interior.

Local history is anchored by Wisner Cemetery in the north and Fairview Cemetery further south, providing essential landmarks for genealogical research. The grid-based road system, including routes like E W 122 Rd and W Francis, connects isolated farmsteads and specialized dams such as the Maynard Richmond Dam. The map documents a landscape where the natural flow of water has been carefully managed to support the enduring community around Yeager.
