2019 Map of Albion

About this map

Talihina and Albion anchor this corner of southeastern Oklahoma, where the Kiamichi Valley meets the southern edge of the Potato Hills. The terrain is defined by the winding course of the Kiamichi River, which flows through the southern portion of the sheet, and the rugged rise of Blackjack Ridge. Settlement patterns are traced through a dense network of local roads and several family or community burial grounds, including Old Talihina Cem and McIntosh Cem. Transportation infrastructure centers on the Talihina Municipal Airport and the highways connecting these rural communities. The landscape is a mix of wooded slopes and open valleys, drained by numerous creeks like Clear Cr and Rock Creek. This survey captures the rural character of the region, showing how the local economy and geography are tied to the river and the surrounding hill country.
