About this map

Fewell and its surrounding mountain ranges characterize this early 1970s survey of southeastern Oklahoma. The landscape is dominated by the ridges of the Kiamichi Mountains and Tuskahoma terrain, where numerous watercourses like Wildhorse Creek and Uphill Bowers Creek have carved deep drainage patterns. The settlement of Fewell sits near the southern edge of the sheet, marked by the Fewell Cem and proximity to the winding course of the Little River.

Transport through this isolated country relies on established paths such as the Wildhorse Trail and Nolia Trail, which navigate the high elevations. Local industry is represented by a Gravel Pit near the river, while the border between Pushmataha and McCurtain counties is clearly delineated across the southern sections. This map documents a sparsely populated timber and river valley region where life followed the natural contours of the mountain gaps.
