About this map

The Stringtown, Kosoma, and Farris districts overlap in this landscape defined by the rugged drainage basins of the Ouachita Mountains. The central feature is the winding course of McGee Creek, which carves through the terrain alongside numerous steep-walled tributaries like Wildcat Canyon and Bugaboo Canyon. These natural corridors dictate the early settlement patterns, where small homesteads and essential community structures are tucked into the valley floors. Evidence of rural life is sparse but significant, including a lone Cem and the Impson Ch (Abandoned) located within the Impson Valley. Industrial activity is hinted at by the presence of Oil Tanks near Randolph Creek, while a Gaging Station on Greasy Cr monitors the vital water flow through this deeply dissected region on the border of Atoka and Pushmataha counties.
