1972 Map of Kosoma

About this map

Kiamichi River bottomlands dominate this landscape in Pushmataha County, where the valley floor meets the rising timber of Lost Mtn. In the early 1970s, the community of Kosoma served as a key point along the St Louis San Francisco RR, which follows the river's path through the terrain. The map records a rural infrastructure defined by local spiritual and family centers, such as Little Cedar Ch and Old Cedar Ch, alongside the Finley Cem near the eastern boundary. Industrial activity is represented by a Gravel Pit near the riverbanks, suggesting the extraction of local resources. Water is the primary architect of the land here, with a complex network of tributaries including Caroline Creek and Cedar Mountain Creek feeding into the larger river system, supporting the agriculture and settlement patterns of this Oklahoma interior.
