About this map

The Poteau River winds through the northern reaches of this Le Flore County landscape, establishing a fertile valley floor that contrasts with the rising elevations of the Ouachita National Forest to the south. Small, established settlements like Hontubby and Heavener anchor the local road network, while the southern terrain is defined by the significant ridgeline of Walker Mtn and the Shawnee Ridges.

This area is defined by its numerous small waterways, including the Black Fork and Big Creek, which have shaped the rural development pattern of timber and small-scale farming. Notable local landmarks like Hontubby Falls and Standpipe Hill provide specific points of interest for those tracing the physical history of the region. Genealogists will find value in the documented locations of Hontubby Cem and Big Creek Cem, which mark the centers of early community life near the Haw Creek and Petros settlements.
