1909 Map of Winding Stair

USGS Topo · Published 1928

About this map

Winding Stair Mountain and Kiamichi Mountain dominate this Choctaw Nation landscape during a period of significant industrial expansion. The northern portion of the territory is defined by a dense network of competing rail lines, including the St Louis and San Francisco RR and the Chicago Rock Island and Pacific RR, which connect early coal-mining and timber settlements like Fanshawe, Wister, and Heavener. The presence of the Kansas City Southern RR slicing north-to-south through the ridges illustrates how transportation corridors were forced through the narrow gaps of the Ouachita Mountains.
