About this map

The Poteau River winds through the northern valley of this landscape, flanked by the residential blocks of Heavener and the industrial infrastructure of the Kansas City Southern railroad. The terrain is dominated by the ridges of Walker Mountain and Heavener Ridge, where the dense canopy of the Ouachita National Forest covers much of the southern and central sections. Small rural settlements and family landmarks are scattered throughout the lowlands, including the community of Hontubby and the site of Hontubby Falls.

Tracing the waterways reveals a network of life along Black Fork and Sugar Creek, where local history is anchored by the Big Creek Ch and several burial grounds like Loving Cem and Big Creek Cem. Near the southern border, the settlement of Stapp sits along the rail line, while markers like the Gravel Pit and various sewage and water facilities indicate the local utility and resource footprint during this era.
