1972 Map of Snow

About this map

Snow Valley and the surrounding timberlands of the Ouachita foothills are defined by the winding drainages of Cedar Creek and Caney Creek in this early 1970s survey. The tiny settlement of Snow serves as a local landmark along the Snow Road, while a portion of the Finley area occupies the central portion of the quadrangle. The map reveals an economy tied to the landscape, featuring a Shale Pit and Minnow Ponds tucked near the valley floor. To the north, the terrain rises sharply toward Dunbar Mountain, and a significant portion of the sheet is dedicated to the Pushmataha County State Game Refuge. This conservation area preserves the character of the upland forest, where Beulah Creek and the West Fork flow through the deep ridges typical of southeastern Oklahoma's interior.
