About this map

Adel sits at a low elevation within a complex network of ridgelines and stream valleys at the border of Pittsburg and Pushmataha counties. The landscape is dominated by parallel sandstone ridges such as Jackfork Mtn and Turkey Mtn, which direct the drainage of numerous local waterways. Notable among these are Jackfork Cr and Clear Cr, which carve through the valleys before reaching the larger Kiamichi River seen at the southern edge of the survey area.

A series of high points including Big Caney Mtn, Little Caney Mtn, and Blue Mtn define the central terrain, while Rock Town and Fobb Ridge provide distinct navigational markers for those tracing family history or early land use in the area. The settlement pattern is largely dictated by the topographic barriers, with Rock Town RD and Adel RD serving as the primary corridors through the gaps, such as Wild Horse Gap, connecting these isolated mountain communities.
