It was located 3/4 mile south-southeast of the highway intersection of OK 3 and OK 93 in present-day Rattan, in Pushmataha County, Oklahoma.
Prior to establishment of a United States Post Office in 1910 with the name “Rattan”, the area was called Sulphur Springs.
The court met in a large log house, constructed of long, straight logs, serving as both an Indian Methodist church and court house.
The Cedar County Court House was torn down by white settlers sometime after the dissolution of the Choctaw Nation as a sovereign entity upon Oklahoma's statehood in 1907.
A tree stump said to be preserved from the tree used as a whipping post—the preferred form of punishment doled out by the Choctaw Nation judicial system—is now held by the Pushmataha County Historical Society in Antlers, Oklahoma.
