About this map

Adel sits at the intersection of Adel Rd and Rock Town Rd, serving as a central point in this landscape of the Ouachita Mountains during the early 2020s. The topography is defined by significant ridges and gaps, including the prominent Turkey Mtn and Big Caney Mtn, which frame the drainages of Jackfork Cr and Clear Cr. The map reveals a rugged geography where the Pittsburg and Pushmataha county lines meet amidst the high elevations of Jackfork Mtn.

Tracing the southern reaches of the map shows the terrain descending toward Johns Valley and the Kiamichi River. This area is characterized by numerous small watercourses such as Pine Cr and Wildcat Cr that cut through the steep slopes of Pine Creek Mtn and Wildcat Mtn. These natural features, along with names like Wild Horse Gap, indicate a landscape where travel was traditionally dictated by the narrow passages between the mountains.
