About this map

Little River winds through the heart of this Pushmataha County terrain, creating a deeply incised drainage pattern that defines the local geography. The landscape is characterized by prominent peaks and ridges, most notably Caney Mtn and John Noah Mtn, which rise sharply above the river valley. The topography is further distinguished by the Devils Backbone, a narrow ridge located near the sharp oxbows of the river where Iron Spring is found.

Transport through this part of the Choctaw Nation traditional area relies on a network of named tracks and county roads. Historical family and local identifiers are preserved in names like Billy Bell Trl and Harry Rowe Trl, while early infrastructure is marked by Cloudy Rd and Holly Creek Rd. Numerous small waterways, including Rock Pen Cr and Bullpen Cr, suggest the historical importance of these valleys for livestock and early mountain passage.
