About this map

Fort Towson and the smaller community of Sawyer anchor this Choctaw County landscape along the southern Oklahoma border. The area is defined by the winding course of the Kiamichi River and the eastern reaches of Hugo Lake, which create a complex network of waterways including Rock Cr and Bird Cr. The town of Fort Towson sits just west of Lake Raymond Gary, a focal point for the local geography alongside historical sites like the Old Ft Towson Cem.

North of the main settlements, the terrain becomes increasingly rural, rising toward Round Mtn and the headwaters of Gates Cr and Cedar Cr. A dense grid of country roads, such as Chicken Hill Rd and Tucker Rd, connects isolated farmsteads and creek crossings. The map details the transition from the river bottomlands to the timbered uplands, recording the placement of established cemeteries and rural infrastructure as they existed in the early twenty-first century.
