About this map

The Arkansas River snakes through the heart of this mid-1960s landscape, defining the boundary between Sequoyah and Le Flore counties. The area is characterized by fertile lowlands like Tucker Bottom and Spiro Bottom, while industrial activity is evident in the Strip Mines and scattered quarries found in the southern reaches of Cowlington Township. These resource-rich bottoms are flanked by upland settlements such as Foreman and Redland, which sit east of the river's major bend.

Transportation and infrastructure are anchored by the Kansas City Southern railroad line and a network of named waterways including Big Skin Bayou and Cache Creek. Local history is preserved in landmarks like Center Point Cem and the small community of Stony Point. The presence of several gas wells throughout the river valley points to the energy extraction economy that shaped this portion of eastern Oklahoma during the post-war era.
