About this map

The settlement of Adel serves as the focal point for this survey of the Pushmataha County backcountry, where small communities are defined by the winding drainages of the Ouachita Mountains. The local landscape is a complex network of peaks and gaps, including Big Caney Mountain, Turkey Mountain, and the prominent Wild Horse Gap. Transportation in this era relied on rural routes like Rock Town Rd, which connects the namesake Rock Town to the surrounding hills.

Water plays a central role in the geography here, with numerous creeks such as Jackfork Creek, Clear Creek, and Pine Creek carving through the terrain. In the southeastern corner, the Kiamichi River provides the primary drainage for the area. The map illustrates a rural Oklahoma landscape where topography dictates the placement of homes and roads, preserved here just as it appeared in the early 21st century.
