About this map

Cardiff sits at the heart of this landscape, where the East Fork Poteau River and Prairie Creek converge amidst a series of prominent ridges. The area is defined by its water management infrastructure, most notably the Poteau River Watershed Site Two Dam and Poteau River Watershed Site One Dam, which have created the Poteau Watershed Site Two Lake and Poteau River Site One Lake for flood control and local use.

From the heights of White Oak Mountain, home to the White Oak Lookout Tower, the terrain drops toward the drainage of Dutch Creek and Sugar Creek. For the local historian or genealogist, the map identifies established community sites such as Mount Pleasant Cemetery and Friendship Cemetery. The network of forest roads and trails, including Buck Trl and Roadrunner Trl, provides a detailed view of the access points through Narrow Ridge and Waldron Ridge at the start of the 21st century.
