About this map

Poteau River and the Black Fork flow through this section of eastern Oklahoma, where the landscape is defined by the confluence of numerous creeks and mountain branches. The small settlement of Hontubby sits near the river's path, marked by the nearby Hontubby Falls. This 2011 survey documents a rural network of county roads and forest routes that connect isolated communities like Petros, Forrester, and Stapp.

Local history and genealogy interests are centered around the Big Creek Cemetery near Haw Creek and the Choctaw District Ranger Office near Standpipe Hill. The mapping of several watercourses, including Oil Branch, Sugar Creek, and Bushman Creek, illustrates the complex drainage of the Ouachita region before the modern era of significant development, preserving the locations of family-named landmarks and old road crossings.
