1962 Map of Alikchi

About this map

Little River winds through the southwestern portion of this landscape, its path punctuated by named Rapids and bordered by the community of Ringold. The area reflects a rural network of small watercourses and family or community landmarks, such as Wilson Chapel Cem and Alikchi Spring. Significant drainage systems like Big Sulphur Creek, Cypress Creek, and Wilson Creek carve through the terrain, illustrating the hydrologic character of the McCurtain County and Pushmataha County borderlands. The topography is defined by distinct uplands including Kiamichi, Fowler, and Sulphur, which dictate the flow of the local creeks. Evidence of small-scale industry or land use is seen in the Gravel Pit located near the river, while natural features like Tucker Lake and Gum Spring provide further points of orientation for those studying the mid-century geography of this Oklahoma region.
