About this map

Ararat and the surrounding Choctaw County landscape are defined by the winding drainages of Big Tallawampa Creek and Middle Tallawampa Cr. This rural territory is dotted with small settlements like Pleasant Hill, Lou, and Wimbly, many of which are linked by an intricate network of county roads such as Chapel Hill Rd and Pleasant Hill Rd. The map reveals a high density of family-named topographic features and ridge systems, including Horne Ridge and Wilson Ridge.

Tracing the eastern boundary along the Choctaw Co and Clarke Co line, the terrain drops toward the banks of Coffeeville Lake. Here, prominent landmarks like Morgan Bluff, Turkey Point, and Bucey Bluff overlook the water. Local history and genealogy are anchored by several small burial grounds, specifically Pleasant Hill Cem, Wilson Cem, and Little Cem, providing clear points of reference for residents of these longstanding communities.
