Abstract

Physiographically, Muskogee County may be divided into two regions separated roughly by the Arkansas River: the Ozark region in the northeastern part of the county and the prairie plains region. The Ozark region, which is at its western limit here, consists of wooded uplands or mountains with steep rocky slopes and nearly level crests. The prairie plains region has a rolling to nearly level topography underlain chiefly by shales but broken by occasional flat-topped hills which are erosional remnants of sandstone. Elevation varies from about 450 feet to above 1,000 feet above sea level. Arkansas River, the latgest river in the State, runs through the county, where it has a broad flood plain with terraces. Its largest tributary, Canadian River, forms a part of the southern border of the county.
