About this map

Kiamichi Mountains and the Boktuklo Mountains dominate this mid-century survey of the rugged borderlands between Le Flore and McCurtain Counties. The settlement of Ludlow sits in a rare clearing along the Little River, serving as a focal point for local history alongside the nearby Ludlow Cemetery. The landscape is a complex of ridges and peaks, including Honobia Mountain, Deadman Mountain, and Wildhorse Mountain, partitioned by the Cowhead Divide and Doe Ridge.

Drainage systems like Eagle Creek, Little Eagle Creek, and Potts Creek carve through the heavily forested uplands, where historical infrastructure such as the Turney Ranch Trail and a prominent pipeline corridor trace the challenging topography. The map illustrates a remote timber or ranching environment where development is strictly tied to the narrow river valleys and established trails like the one leading through Octavia.
