About this map

Finley stands as the primary settlement in this early 1970s survey, situated along the winding course of Cedar Creek. The landscape is dominated by the ridges of Blackjack Mountain and Kiamichi Mountain, where the terrain's complexity is navigated by historic routes such as the Gunsmoke Trail and the Rattan Tram Trail. These paths suggest the area's history with timber or transit, moving across high points like Roundtop Mountain.

Water plays a central role in the geography here, with numerous family-named or descriptive drainages including Little Waterhole Creek and Medicine Springs. Genealogists may find particular value in the One Creek Cem, which remains a key landmark in this sparsely populated region of Pushmataha County. The presence of a Gravel Pit and a designated Picnic Area indicates a mix of local industry and recreational use during this era.
