All along Coffee Creek Road, numerous culverts have been constructed to handle flooding, and keep the rural roads open for travel. As with most of these culverts, they go almost unnoticed as you travel through the area. Concrete curbing on each side of the road blends in with the grasses and leaves. A WPA shield is stamped at the center of each curb, many times covered with dirt, requiring some "uncover" work to expose the treasure.

This culvert is located on Coffee Creek Road, where Choctaw Road would have intersected if it wasn't interrupted at this point. It is located about 2.5 miles north of Route 66, northeast of the town of Arcadia, at the convergence of two unnamed creeks. On one side of the road, the culvert is about 3 ft. and 6 ft., and on the other side 2ft by 6 ft. The date 1936 is stamped on the curbing.
