About this map

The Arkansas River serves as the central artery through this landscape on the border of Sequoyah and Le Flore counties, its winding course flanked by the fertile lowlands of Tucker Bottom and Cache Bottom. This late 1970s revision, based on earlier surveys, captures a transition in the local economy from the agrarian legacy of the bottomlands to industrial extraction. Multiple Gas Wells are scattered across the terrain, alongside a notable Strip Mine and various quarries, indicating the region's reliance on mineral resources during this era.

Transportation and small-town life are anchored by the Kansas City Southern railroad, which passes through the community of Foreman. To the south, Stony Point and Redland remain active hubs of rural settlement, while Center Point Cem provides a genealogical touchstone for researchers. The hydrologic network is particularly dense here, with Cache Creek, Onion Creek, and the oxbow waters of Tucker Lake defining the local topography.
