1958 Map of Loving

USGS Topo · Published 1979

About this map

Walker Mountain dominates this survey of the Oklahoma-Arkansas borderlands, dividing the landscape between the Poteau River valley to the north and the deep drainages of the Ouachita National Forest to the south. In the late 1950s, the settlement of Loving served as a local hub near the Loving Cemetery, while smaller clusters like Puryear and Black Fork followed the winding path of Black Fork Creek. The geography here is defined by high ridgelines and numerous mountain streams such as Haws Creek, where the Haws Creek Church provided a center for the rural community. This survey provides a precise look at the mid-century road network and forest boundaries before later developments, specifically documenting the remote interfaces between Le Flore County, Oklahoma, and Scott County, Arkansas.
