About this map

The Glover River meanders through this portion of McCurtain County, carving a path through the timbered heights of Big Horseshoe Mountain. This early 1980s landscape is defined by its drainage network, with Winship Branch and Terrapin Creek feeding the larger river system. A single spiritual center, Bethel Hill Ch, stands in the northeast, serving the scattered rural community of the era.

Industrial activity is evidenced by a legacy of transport and extraction. An Old Railroad Grade and Old RR Grade trace the movement of timber or minerals through the hills, while a Shale Pit near Carter Creek indicates local mining operations. The map also identifies Sulphur and various streams like Pine Spring Creek and Beeman Creek, providing a clear look at the hydraulic and topographic character of the region before significant modern development altered these traditional routes.
