About this map

Poteau Mountain dominates the center of this Oklahoma landscape, forming a massive natural barrier that separates the northern valley of Monroe from the settlement of Heavener to the southwest. The terrain is marked by several distinct peaks including Round Mtn, Lost Mtn, and Mid Mtn, which dictate the winding paths of rural roads like Crouch Rd and Ransom Ridge Rd. Water flows from these heights through a network of creeks, notably Cowskin Cr and Sugarloaf Cr in the north and Coal Creek and Dry Cr in the south.

Local history is preserved in several family and community burial grounds, such as Springhill Cem, Monroe Cem, and Burns Cem. In the southern portion of the map, the town of Heavener sits at a crossroads of transportation and public space, featuring Heavener Memorial Park and the Oakdale Cem. The mapping shows the transition from the concentrated street grid of Heavener to the scattered homesteads along the foothills of the Ouachita range.
