About this map

Impson Valley and the flat expanse of Racetrack Prairie define the topography of this corner of Pushmataha County, where the southern Oklahoma landscape transitions from high ridges to fertile creek bottoms. The settlements of Miller, Moyers, and Kellond are positioned near the watercourses that have historically shaped local movement, including Tenmile Cr and the Kiamichi River. Higher elevations are marked by White Rock Mtn, Razorback Mtn, and Parker Mtn, providing a distinct contrast to the low-lying prairie land.

Local history is grounded in the presence of several family-named landmarks and resting places, such as the Miller Cem, Rocky Point Cem, and Moyers Cem. Transportation through the region is anchored by the Indian Nation Turnpike, which cuts across the valley floors. Water features like Tenmile Lake and smaller tributaries such as Stink Br and Judge Cox Br illustrate the intricate drainage system feeding into the larger river basin east of the ridges.
