About this map

Peaceable Creek and its many tributaries, including Brier Creek and Wolf Creek, carve through this section of the Choctaw Nation's traditional territory during the late 1960s. The landscape is defined by the prominent uplift of Limestone Ridge and the steep slopes of New State Mountain to the south. Small rural communities and gathering places are scattered throughout the hills, marked by High Hill Ch and Peaceable Valley Ch.

Evidence of early transportation and resource extraction is visible in the Old Grade and scattered industrial markers like a Gas Well and Gravel Pit. The map also identifies local landmarks such as a Natural Arch and a Radio Tower, providing a detailed look at the rural infrastructure of the Alderson and Dow districts before significant modern development altered these traditional ranching and mining landscapes.
