About this map

The Red River defines the southern boundary of this region, separating Choctaw County, Oklahoma from Lamar County, Texas. This landscape is marked by a network of drainage systems, including Owl Cr, Carney Cr, and Horse Cr, which flow through a mix of agricultural fields and wetlands. The settlement patterns reflect a rural history, with small communities like Shoals and Fallon positioned along a grid of section-line roads such as Spring Hill Rd.

Genealogists will find a high density of burial sites across the landscape, including the Mount Olivet Cem near the city of Hugo and smaller rural grounds like Jones Cem, Durant Cem, and Shoat Springs Cem. The presence of these named cemeteries, often situated on slightly elevated ground near creek crossings like N Sandy Br, offers a detailed map of early family settlements and parish locations in the Choctaw Nation territory.
