About this map

The confluence of the Glover River and the Little River defines the landscape of western McCurtain County. This modern survey illustrates the rural character of southeastern Oklahoma, where small communities like Wright City, Golden, and Glover serve as anchors in a terrain dominated by timber and water. Local history is deeply embedded in the land, evidenced by markers such as the Joe Slater Memorial Cem and Naniah Chito Cem.

The rivers themselves exhibit complex hydrography, with the Little River creating deep meanders at Schuler Bend and Thompson Bend. Small, family-named or locally identified settlements like North Pole appear alongside modern infrastructure like Pine Lake. Numerous creeks, including Horse Head Cr, S Boktuklo Cr, and Courthouse Cr, thread through the timberland, showing the intricate drainage patterns that have long shaped land use and transportation in the region.
