1972 Map of Nashoba

About this map

Nashoba and Nolia anchor this Pushmataha County landscape in the early 1970s, where the Little River and Black Fork carve through the Kiamichi mountains. This survey reveals a rural economy transitioning from traditional agriculture to specialized land uses, evidenced by Fish Farms and several Shale Pits scattered near the settlements. The presence of Black Fork Cem and Nolia Cem provides essential grounding for family researchers, while the winding Nolia Road and Pickens Road connect these small communities to the broader region. The map also highlights the recreational and residential development of the era, from the Trails End Camp to the more formal Little River Ranch, complete with its own private Landing Strip. Local movement was still heavily dictated by the terrain, with the Paul Stevens Trail and other unmarked paths cutting across ridges like Musket Mountain.
