About Deep Fork Township |
|
Deep Fork Township (T14N-R1W) is in northeastern Oklahoma County, part of the Unassigned Lands opened by the Run of '89. Its eastern boundary is the Indian Meridian, its southern boundary runs just south of Lake Hiwassee, its western boundary is about 1 mile west of Arcadia, and its northern boundary is the Logan County line. |
|
Present-day landmarks include the town of Arcadia, in its
southwestern quadrant, and nearby Lake Hiwassee. The old Coon Creek community (never incorporated) spread over its northeastern part. |

Because the eastern border of Deep Fork Township is only 3 miles from the town of Luther, and many of the earliest families in Luther Township were related to those who had already come to the area when the Unassigned Lands had been opened, my Area Study quickly included many Deep Fork Township families. |

Sweat Cemetery |
Shown on the topographical map as Sweat, but known locally as the Friend
or Atteberry cemetery because most of those buried there belong to one of
those families. |
