The slopes below comprise the Upper Kiamichi
River Wilderness. Pine Mountain is the most noticeable landscape
feature in the foreground. The Kiamichi River begins its flow west
in the small valley visible at the foot of Pine Mountain. Flowing
west through the Kiamichi Valley, the river eventually turns south
meeting the Red River at the Texas- Oklahoma border.
The headwaters of the Mountain Fork River form on the opposite side
of Pine Mountain. It flows south to the Little River, which flows
into the Red River at the Arkansas -Texas border. The Kiamichi Mountains
are across the valley beyond Pine Mountain.
