About this map

Metory and Woodall anchor this rural landscape in Cherokee County, where the Ozark foothills meet the plains of eastern Oklahoma. The terrain is defined by a dense network of springs and branches, including Woodall Spring, Black Valley Spring, and the Metory Spring which feeds into Bobtail Creek. Significant topographic relief is provided by local landmarks like Bob Warren Mountain, Rider Mountain, and Red Berry Mountain, while the southern reaches descend into Buzzard Roost Hollow and Gibson Hollow near Greenleaf Creek.

For genealogists, the map is remarkably dense with family-named burial grounds. Scattered across the hills are the Holland Cemetery, Lowrey Cemetery, Price Cemetery, and Jones Cemetery, among others. These sites, often situated near small settlements like Zeb and Manard, offer a clear look at the historic settlement patterns and family lineages of the region before modern development altered the local roads and boundaries.
