About this map

The timber and rail corridors of McCurtain County are clearly defined in this early 1960s study, anchored by the industrial activity in Wright City and the agricultural hub of Valliant. The Texas and Oklahoma Eastern Railroad serves as a primary axis across the landscape, connecting these settlements while tracing the path of the Little River and its various branches, including the Sulphur Little River. The map captures a moment of established rural life, evidenced by a network of local landmarks such as White Sands Ch and several family or community burial grounds like Moran Cem and Felker Cem.

Industrial footprints are visible through the Industrial Railroad and scattered Gravel Pits, illustrating the local extraction and transport economy. Small settlements like Mound Grove and Plainview appear alongside the winding courses of Cypress Creek and Stevens Creek, showing how the terrain influenced early Oklahoma township development before modern highway expansion altered these community connections.
