Towns, terrain and land across Nowata County
Nowata is the county seat, and other towns on the map include Delaware, Lenapah, New Alluwe, and South Coffeyville. Smaller places such as Alluwe and Watova show up as clusters of lots along the roads. Nowata County covers about 566 square miles of land; its 2023 population estimate from the Census Bureau was 9,438. That is a rural density, so once you leave New Alluwe expect a patchwork of farm tracts, woodlots and small acreage splits. Watch how parcels line up along Lake Oologah; waterfront tracts often have odd shapes because the deed follows the water.
