2018 Map of Eagletown

About this map

The Eagletown settlement and its surrounding bottomlands are defined by the winding course of the Mountain Fork river and the northern reaches of the Ouachita National Forest. This 2018 survey documents a landscape of transition where the dense timber of the national forest meets open clearings like Winship Prairie and Racetrack Prairie. For genealogists and local historians, the map identifies three distinct burial sites: Eagletown Cem, Tonka Cem, and Mountain Fork Cem, which provide essential points of reference for tracing family roots in McCurtain County. The hydrography of the region is particularly dense, featuring complex drainage patterns through Crooked Cr, Liksuklo Cr, and the secluded waters of Grassy Lake. Local landmarks like Presbyterian Falls and historical road names such as the Choctaw Hwy and Mad Man Rd reflect the unique cultural and geographic identity of this corner of southeastern Oklahoma.
