About this map

The Oklahoma and Arkansas border runs through the heart of this landscape, dividing Le Flore and Scott Counties. The northern reaches are defined by the Poteau River and the settlement of Loving, where Loving Cem sits just off Lovings Rd. This area reflects a quiet rural character, with property lines and small roads like Kelleher Ln and Lovings Church Ln threading through the woods and clearings near Loving Cr.

Moving south, the terrain rises sharply into the Ouachita National Forest, dominated by the prominent ridge of Walker Mtn. The forest is crisscrossed by specialized routes such as the Blackfork Trl and Farm Service 6019 Rd. Settlements like Puryear and Black Fork are tied to the local water system, including Haw Cr and the southern Black Fork stream, with several local burial grounds like Haw Creek Cem and Black Fork Cem marking the enduring footprint of these mountain communities.
