About this map

The confluence of the Little River and the Mountain Fork defines the hydrology of this corner of McCurtain County. In the early 21st century, the landscape is characterized by a network of rural roads such as River Rd and numerous creek systems, including Ponka Bok Cr and Goodwater Cr. The settlement of Goodwater stands central to the map, while Shinewell lies to the southeast near the edge of the survey area.

Local landmarks provide valuable context for family history researchers, specifically the Philadelphia Cem located north of the main settlement. The terrain is dotted with several water bodies like Grassy Lake, Forked Lake, and Highland Lake, suggesting a low-lying area where drainage follows the winding paths of Crooked Cr and Black Cr. The map preserves the exact alignment of numbered local routes and section lines that structured the region during this period.
