About this map

Sobol and North Sobol sit at the center of this 1960s landscape, which spans the borders of Pushmataha, Choctaw, and McCurtain counties. The terrain is defined by a dense network of waterways, including Turkey Creek, Rock Creek, and Rain Creek, all feeding toward the Little River. The 1993 revision highlights the emergence of Pine Creek Lake and Pine Creek State Park, which altered the local geography as parts of the river valley were inundated.

For those tracing family history in this corner of Oklahoma, the map preserves the locations of several community hubs, such as Oak Grove Sch and Rufe Sch. Rural life is further anchored by local landmarks like the Lookout Tower on Bull Mountain and multiple burial grounds including Sobol Cem, Ringold Cem, and Rufe Cem. The presence of St Johns Ch and the small settlement of Ringold illustrate the established social fabric of the area before modern developments.
