About this map

Westville serves as the primary hub in this eastern Oklahoma landscape, where the town grid meets a network of rural roads along the border with Arkansas. The terrain is defined by prominent rises such as Alberty Mountain and Snake Mountain, while the hydrology is dominated by the winding course of the Baron Fork and its tributaries like Shell Branch and Peavine Creek. Smaller communities including Baron, Peavine, and Piney are scattered through the valleys, reflecting a settlement pattern deeply tied to the local watercourses and mountain gaps.

Genealogists and local historians will find significant value in the distribution of family-named landmarks and burial grounds. The map preserves the locations of the Foreman Cemetery near the northern border, the Crittenden Cemetery, and the Downing Cemetery further south. These sites, along with names like McNair Cir and Thomas Rd, provide a concrete link to the families who established the homesteads and farms of this region long before the modern era.
