Crum Creek, Oklahoma

Crum Creek is a former railroad spur along the St. Louis and San Francisco Railway in Pushmataha County, Oklahoma, 14 miles southwest of Tuskahoma, Oklahoma.

A United States Post Office operated here from February 9, 1916 to July 30, 1927. The railroad spur took its name from nearby Crum Creek, a branch of the Kiamichi River, which in turn took its name from a local resident. ^[1]

More information on Crum Creek and the Kiamichi River valley may be found in the Pushmataha County Historical Society.
