About this map

Haworth serves as a primary hub of settlement in the eastern corner of McCurtain County, situated along the St Louis San Francisco railroad line. The landscape reflects a mix of small rural communities and timberland, with a significant portion of the terrain falling within the Ouachita National Forest. These woodlands are interlaced with local school districts and small family burial grounds, such as the Hickory Grove Sch and Thomas Chapel Cem, indicating a decentralized pattern of life centered around timber, agriculture, and rail transport.

Waterways like Mud Creek and Norwood Creek drain the undulating hills, while the southern reaches near Harris transition toward the lowlands of Red Slough. This mid-century survey, with revisions into the 1970s, documents the endurance of place-names like Kullituklo and Pleasant Hill, providing a clear view of the road and rail networks that connected these remote Oklahoma communities before modern highway expansions altered the local topography.
