1981 Map of Big Hudson Creek

About this map

Pine Mountain State Wilderness Area dominates this section of the Ouachita highlands, preserving a landscape defined by parallel ridges and seasonal drainages. Established within McCurtain County, the terrain is characterized by prominent elevations such as Slapover Ridge and the Pine Mountains. The drainage pattern is intricate, with Big Hudson Creek and its tributaries, including North Linson Creek and South Linson Creek, cutting through the narrow valleys. The presence of Pine Mountain Spring and several identified stream crossings, simply marked as Ford, indicates the historical importance of water access for travelers and local land use. To the south, the landscape transitions into the distinct formations of White Oak Mountain, Little White Oak Mountain, and Locust Mountain, illustrating the complex geological folding of the region.
