context_page_description: Pine Ridge is an unincorporated community in Hale Township, Caddo County, Oklahoma, United States. It is located 6 miles south of Fort Cobb at the junction of County Road 1380 and County Street 2550. During the community's heyday in the 1940s there was a hub of activity at the main junction of the Ozark Trail and the Fort Cobb road, with a grocery store and two churches, Hopewell Missionary Baptist Church and Pine Ridge Church of Christ. Today only the ruins of the Baptist Church building, the Pleasant Valley Cemetery, and the Pine Ridge electrical substation remain.
  According to locals, the community got its name from the community of Pine Ridge, Arkansas, that was the setting of the radio show Lum and Abner which aired from 1934 to 1952. Legend says that the owner of the grocery store named it "Pine Ridge" after the radio show and over time the name was adopted as the name of the whole community.
  Pine Ridge is located at the junction of the blacktop road going directly south from Fort Cobb and the old Ozark Trail.
  The Pine Ridge Community mostly consists of wheat and hay farming and cattle ranching. There is also a winery east of Pine Ridge on the Ozark Trail.
