Scipio, OK

Set among the rolling sandstone hills of northwestern Pittsburg County, Scipio is a tiny rural community of just a few dozen residents. The settlement dates back to the late 1800s in the historic Choctaw Nation, named after nearby Scipio Creek and local cattle-country lore. Located a short drive northwest of McAlester, it offers a peaceful, spread-out lifestyle surrounded by open pastures and quiet country roads.
