About this map

Muse and Whitesboro anchor this 2016 survey of LeFlore County, where the valley floor of the Kiamichi River is hemmed in by massive ridges. The landscape is defined by the high elevations of the Ouachita National Forest, with Winding Stair Mtn to the north and the Kiamichi Mountains to the south. This configuration forces settlement and travel into a narrow corridor along State Hwy 63, where small communities like Lenox are situated.

Tracing the waterways reveals a network of mountain drainage, including Sycamore Cr, Woods Cr, and Gensey Br, all feeding into the river. For genealogists and local historians, the Muse Cem provides a specific point of interest near the eastern edge of the quadrangle. The map captures the enduring rural character of this region, where the terrain of Tombstone Mtn and Lenox Ridge remains largely undeveloped forest land.
