About this map

The Arkansas River serves as a dominant boundary in this portion of Le Flore and Sequoyah Counties, carving a path through low-lying alluvial plains like Tucker Bottom, Cache Bottom, and Spiro Bottom. These fertile basins are marked by a network of seasonal drainages and oxbow remnants, including the prominent Tucker Lake and the meandering Cache Creek. The landscape reflects a transition from river-focused agriculture to industrial extraction, evidenced by the numerous Gas Wells and Quarries scattered throughout the higher ground.

Transportation and settlement patterns follow the corridor established by the Kansas City Southern railroad, which skirts the eastern edge of the survey near Foreman and Redland. Rural life centers around small communities and landmarks like Stony Point and the Center Point Cem. The map provides a detailed view of the regional hydrology, featuring Big Skin Bayou and Onion Creek as they feed into the primary river system.
