About this map

Nicut sits within the winding valley of Little Lee Creek in this 1970s survey, a landscape defined by small rural hubs and the steep ridges of the Brushy Mountains. The settlement pattern reflects a reliance on the creek system, with centers of activity like Belfont Sch and Lee Ch positioned near the water's course. Genealogy researchers will find several family-named landmarks and resting places, including the John Seabolt Cem and Seabolt Cem, as well as the Curtis Ranch in the northeastern corner.

Transportation across the terrain is marked by traditional crossings such as Reeder Ford on Lee Creek. The map documents a transition from the elevated peaks of Rocky Mountain and Flanagan Mtn down into the narrow hollows of Potecat Creek and Short Branch. This detailed record captures the community infrastructure of the eastern Oklahoma hills before modern development altered these small unincorporated areas.
