About this map

The city of Idabel serves as the focal point of this 2019 survey, showing the intricate street grid of the McCurtain county seat. To the north and east, the landscape transitions into the expansive wetlands and bottomlands of the Little River National Wildlife Refuge, where the Little River meanders through dense vegetation. This area preserves a critical riparian ecosystem, distinct from the developed residential and industrial corridors branching out from the city center.

Genealogists can identify localized heritage sites such as Denison Cem and Canfield Cem, while the northern portion of the map highlights the settlements of Holly Creek and Crossroads. The mapping also documents significant regional infrastructure, including the Mc Curtain County Regional Airport and the southern edge of the Ouachita National Forest, illustrating the balance between conservation lands and the growing urban footprint of the Choctaw Nation region.
