About Mayes County

Mayes County occupies a scenic corner of northeastern Oklahoma, with Grand Lake o' the Cherokees forming much of its eastern boundary. The lake is one of Oklahoma's premier recreational destinations, drawing tourists for fishing, boating, and lakeside tourism. Communities like Chouteau, Locust Grove, Salina, and Adair serve the county's rural population. The county falls within the Cherokee Nation reservation boundaries, which adds a jurisdictional consideration for law enforcement following the McGirt v. Oklahoma Supreme Court decision. Mayes County's economy is a mix of tourism driven by Grand Lake, industrial employment at MidAmerica Industrial Park, agriculture, and the growing technology sector anchored by Google's presence.
