About this map

Clayton and Tuskahoma anchor this study of Pushmataha County, situated at the dramatic junction of the Kiamichi River and Jackfork Creek. The landscape is dominated by the steep, rising elevations of the Kiamichi Mountains to the east, where the terrain is marked by numerous watercourses including Hurd Cr, Peal Cr, and Black Fork. The town layout of Clayton is visible in detail, showing a grid of streets such as W Choctaw St and Lawson Blvd nestled near the river's edge.

Genealogists and local researchers will find the Clayton Old Town Cem south of the primary settlement, while recreation and community history are reflected in A L Stephens Memorial Park and the waters of Clayton Lake. The drainage patterns of the southern hills are particularly distinct, with Coney Cr and Buzzard Cr cutting through the upland topography, illustrating the natural barriers that have shaped local transport and settlement for generations.
