The Cookson Hills are in the eastern part of Oklahoma. They are part of the Ozark Mountains and lie generally between Stilwell, Oklahoma, Sallisaw, Oklahoma and Tahlequah, Oklahoma. The area became part of the Cherokee Nation in the early 1800s until 1907 when Oklahoma became a state. The region is mountainous with numerous peaks of 1,500 feet or above. It is drained by tributaries of the Arkansas River.
