About this map

Big Cedar and its surrounding heights within the Ouachita National Forest define this 2016 study of southeastern Oklahoma. The landscape is dominated by a series of significant ridges and summits, including Winding Stair Mtn, Simmons Mtn, and Bowman Mtn. This terrain dictates the local infrastructure, with roads like US Hwy 259 and Patterson Rd following the lower elevations near the Kiamichi River and its various tributaries such as Big Cedar Cr and Little Cedar Cr.

Water sources are vital markers in this forested area, with names like Horse Thief Springs, Pipe Spring, and the Sallisaw Creek Site 17 Reservoir appearing across the map. For those researching local family history, the Big Cedar Cem provides a specific point of interest near the junction of the river and major roadways. The map details a network of forest service and county routes, such as Co Rd 214 and Mineral Spring Rd, that penetrate the dense topography of Rough Mtn and Tram Ridge.
