About this map

The Little River defines the landscape of this border region, carving a winding path through Sevier Co and McCurtain Co along the Oklahoma Arkansas state line. The river's influence is evident in the presence of an Old Channel Little River and a specialized Gaging Station near the bend. Local life in the early 1950s centered around small settlements like Cerrogordo, West Otis, and Dogtown, supported by communal anchors including Plainview Sch and West Otis Ch.

Transportation and industry are marked by the Kansas City Southern railroad, which cuts through the northern sections near Wade. The terrain transitions between named regions like Monroe, Buckhorn, and Frisco, with drainage provided by numerous creeks such as Rolling Fork, Bear Creek, and Caney Creek. For those researching local family history, the Pauley Cem and Wright Chapel offer specific points of interest within this rural river-valley environment.
