About this map

The confluence of the Glover River and the Little River defines this McCurtain County landscape in the early 1980s. The region is characterized by its winding waterways and distinct river bends, including Schuler Bend and Thompson Bend. In the west, Wright City serves as a primary settlement hub, supported by the Texas Oklahoma and Eastern railroad which cuts across the central timberland and swampy basins like Pine Slough Lake.

Local life is anchored by a network of community churches, such as Chihowaichaka Ch (Mendon), Nanih Chito Ch, and the Landmark Missionary Ch near Wright City. Small riverside communities like Glover and North Pole sit near numerous gravel operations, reflecting the local extraction industry. The map captures a transition where the high ground of Sulphur gives way to the lower, creek-fed bottomlands near Golden.
