Welcome to Oklahoma Genealogy Trails
Mayes
County
A Part of the
Volunteers Dedicated to Free
Genealogy
Our goal is to help you track
your ancestors through time by
transcribing genealogical
and
historical data and placing it online for the free use of
all researchers.
This is
a
continuation of our
original Illinois
Trails History and Genealogy
Project and we are excited
about this
opportunity to expand
into other states. Mayes County is located near the northeastern corner of Oklahoma.
Surrounding counties include Craig to the north, Delaware
to the east, Cherokee and Wagoner to the south, and Rogers to the west. The topography of the county's
683.51 square miles is divided by the Grand River, and of
the total area 27.37
square miles is surface water. The
eastern half lies on the edge of the Ozark
Plateau, or
Ozark Uplift, characterized by flat areas divided by deep, V-shaped
stream valleys. The western half of the county lies in the
Prairie Plains. The
incorporated towns include Adair,
Chouteau, Disney, Grand Lake, Langley, Locust
Grove,
Pensacola, Pryor Creek, Salina, Spavinaw, Sportsmen Acres, and
Strang. The county name honors Cherokee Chief Samuel
H. Mayes.
We
welcome your feedback and
comments,
and of course, your
data contributions. If you have
