About this map

Antlers sits at the heart of this mid-1980s landscape, serving as a hub for the rail and road networks of Pushmataha County. The Burlington Northern railroad corridor traces a path through established timber and cattle country, connecting smaller settlements like Moyers, Kosoma, and Eubanks. To the west, the Indian Nation Turnpike provides a modern contrast to the older winding routes that follow the Impson Valley.

The presence of massive water management projects, including Hugo Lake and Pine Creek Lake, illustrates the engineering of the regional watershed. In the northern reaches, the Pushmataha County State Game Refuge and Streeter-Horn Wildlife Management Area preserve the wooded character of Blackjack Mountain and Razorback Mountain. This survey effectively documents the intersection of rural Oklahoma life and large-scale conservation efforts during the late twentieth century.
