About this map

Kiamichi River flows through the heart of this terrain, separating the northern heights of Winding Stair Mountain from the southern Kiamichi Mountains. The map records a landscape defined by significant elevation changes, with Lenox Ridge and Robinson Ridge flanking the valley floors. Settled life centers on the communities of Muse and Lenox, where local heritage is anchored by James Chapel, Good Spring Ch, and nearby Cem sites.

Industrial and transport history is visible in the prominent Old Railroad Grade that snakes across the topography, alongside a modern Pipeline corridor. The vast majority of the northern section is protected as part of the Ouachita National Forest, while landmarks like the Lookout Tower near the southern boundary and Harvey Mountain provide orientation for those tracing old property lines or surveying the rugged Le Flore County interior.
