About this map

The Oklahoma-Arkansas border country comes into focus in this detailed topographic study of the Ouachita National Forest region. Centered on the state line separating Le Flore County and Scott County, the landscape is defined by the steep slopes of Walker Mtn and the winding course of the Poteau River. Small communities like Loving and Puryear are situated among a network of rural routes including Lovings Rd and Lovings Church Ln, reflecting the long-established settlement patterns of this upland terrain.

Local genealogy and history are preserved through features such as Haw Creek Cem and Black Fork Cem near the settlement of Black Fork. The drainage network, featuring Cedar Cr, Haw Cr, and Long Br, dictates the orientation of many forest roads and trails like the Blackfork Trl. This map provides a clear view of the rugged boundary between two states just as modern infrastructure reached these remote forest areas.
