2018 Map of Higgins

About this map

Higgins occupies the center of this rural landscape in Latimer County, where the terrain is defined by the significant elevations of Number Ten Mtn and Blue Mtn. The settlement pattern follows the natural flow of numerous watercourses, including Gaines Creek, Buffalo Creek, and Cedar Cr. A network of local routes, such as Gowen Cemetary Rd and Higgins Damon Valley Rd, connects the scattered residents to central landmarks like the Mountain Station Cem. This survey illustrates the geographic relationship between isolated homesteads and the high ridges of the Choctaw Nation, where traditional family-named roads like Zivern McGuire Rd and Snake Rd provide access through the dense valleys and over the steep mountain passes.
