2022 Map of Finley

About this map

The settlement of Finley serves as the focal point for this study of southeastern Oklahoma’s Pushmataha County. This landscape is defined by the prominent heights of Roundtop Mtn and Blackjack Mtn, which overlook a network of creek drainages including Cedar Creek, One Creek, and Big Waterhole Cr. Local history is anchored by the One Creek Cem, situated near the winding course of One Cr. The map reveals a transition from the structured township system to the more fluid topography of Tucker Hollow and the notable area of Medicine Springs. The road network, characterized by names like Gunsmoke Trail Rd and Bug Tussel Rd, suggests a legacy of local passage through the dense hills. Researchers can trace numerous seasonal watercourses like Little Waterhole Cr and Bitter Cr as they feed the larger creek systems.
