1970 Map of Muldrow SW

About this map

The Arkansas River carves a sweeping path through this Le Flore County landscape, defining the agricultural and topographical character of the region. This 1970s orthophoto survey reveals the intricate relationship between the waterway and the surrounding flatlands, where the river's historic shifts have left distinct patterns in the soil. Smaller tributaries like Onion Creek and Cache Creek meander through the southern and eastern portions of the quadrangle, feeding into the larger river system. Small settlements and crossroads such as Tucker, Foreman, and Redland are visible as clusters of development amidst a grid of rural fields. Near the southern edge, the high ground of Stony Point overlooks the low-lying basin, providing a clear view of the land-use patterns and property divisions that shaped this part of Oklahoma during the late twentieth century.
