About this map

The Little River winds through a heavily timbered and mountainous portion of Pushmataha County, anchored by the prominent ridges of Kiamichi Mountain and Caney Mountain. In the early 1960s, this area remained largely rural and defined by its isolation, with development concentrated around small, local educational hubs such as East Cloudy Sch and Caney Creek Sch. A small Landing Strip near a bend in the river suggests the importance of aerial access in this remote landscape.

A network of local paths and unimproved roads, including Harris Trail, Billy Bell Trail, and Lindley Road, provides evidence of the area's late 20th-century connectivity. The terrain is marked by distinctive local landmarks like John Noah Mountain and the Devils Backbone, while numerous drainages such as Cloudy Creek and Harris Creek feed into the river system, supporting the local environment of the Finley park area.
