2018 Map of Wright City

About this map

Wright City and the neighboring settlement of Valliant anchor this survey of McCurtain County, where the southern Oklahoma timberlands meet the winding course of the Little River. The landscape is defined by the significant waters of Pine Creek Lake to the northwest, feeding into the river system alongside numerous tributaries such as Cypress Creek and White-Oak Creek. Smaller rural hubs like Slim, Felker, and Mound Grove dot the countryside, connected by local routes such as Rufe Road and Pine Creek Road. Local history and genealogy are evidenced by the presence of the Moran Cemetery and the two burial grounds in Valliant, Valliant Cemetery and Valliant-Uptown Cemetery. The area's transit patterns are reflected in the grid of Wright City, where Railroad Street suggests the community's historical reliance on the rail lines that served the regional lumber industry.
