About this map

The Kiamichi River flows through this 1960s survey, marking a distinct boundary between the northern valley settlements and the steep, forested slopes of Tombstone Mountain and Kiamichi Mountain to the south. The settlement of Whitesboro is the primary community hub, while smaller centers of social and spiritual life appear at Prairie Grove Ch, Wadesville Ch, and Christs Ch. Much of the northeast is preserved within the Ouachita National Forest, containing Bohannon Lake and several named peaks like Chancellor Mountain.

A notable transport relic, the Railroad Grade, runs along the eastern edge of the quadrangle, hinting at earlier industrial timbering or freight activity that once defined the local economy. The landscape is dotted with small-scale features like Fish Ponds and the Bohannon Cem, while the county line between Le Flore and Pushmataha follows the river's meandering course, anchoring the geography of these southeastern Oklahoma borderlands.
