Sawyer, OK

Sawyer is a town in Choctaw County, Oklahoma, United States. The 2020 census counted 340 residents. Sawyer was located in Kiamitia County, one of the constituent counties comprising the Apukshunnubbee District of the Choctaw Nation. On November 4, 2022, a violent EF4 tornado passed just east of Sawyer. That mix gives Sawyer a clear local shape within Oklahoma, with older layers still visible in current places. The local scoop is a place whose streets, landmarks, and institutions keep its earlier story close to the present. The town center is on the east side of the Kiamichi River at Hugo Dam. The town limits extend north up the east side of Hugo Lake and west to touch the southwest side of the lake.
