1951 Map of Garvin

About this map

Wheelock Academy stands as a prominent landmark in this corner of McCurtain County, situated northwest of the main settlement at Garvin. The landscape is defined by the winding course of the Little River, which creates distinctive geographical features like Rattlesnake Island and the sharp loop at Possum Ford Bend. Transportation and commerce are anchored by the St Louis San Francisco railroad line, which cuts diagonally across the terrain, serving the local timber and agricultural interests of the mid-20th century.
