About this map

The Little River winds through the heart of this McCurtain County landscape, defining the local geography around the settlements of Shults and Redland. This 1950 survey, compiled from 1949 aerial photography and manual plane-table methods, provides a clear view of the rural infrastructure during the mid-twentieth century. The community fabric is evidenced by numerous country churches, including Hill Chapel and Mt Zion Ch in the north and Douglas Chapel near Shults.

Transport and drainage patterns are established by a network of waterways such as Yanubbe Creek, Crooked Creek, and Yashoo Creek, which feed into the primary river valley. Smaller water bodies like Pine Lake and Deeberry Lake dot the terrain, while the Redland Cem and Redland Ch serve as significant markers for genealogists tracing family histories in the Redland area. The township is further divided into sections including Eagle, White, and Frisco.
