About this map

Garvin sits at the heart of this McCurtain County landscape, clustered along the Highway 70 corridor where local routes like Kirk Ave and Williams Ave define the small settlement. To the south, the curious designation of Iron Stob Corner marks a junction on Highway 37, reflecting the persistent local nomenclature often used in rural Oklahoma to identify historic crossroads and survey points.

The hydrologic network dominates the terrain, shaped by the winding Little River and its various tributaries such as Bokchito Cr and Waterhole Cr. The map reveals a land of sloughs and cutoffs, including Sunk Lake Slough and Rattlesnake Island, which suggest the shifting nature of the river over time. Water management is further evidenced by the Whitegrass-Waterhole Creeks Site 7 Reservoir, while named river features like Possum Ford Bend point to early river crossings and local landmarks used before modern bridges.
