About this map

The town of Panama serves as the focal point of this Eastern Oklahoma landscape, situated where the Poteau River and James Fork converge amidst a dense network of country roads. The area's geography is defined by a complex hydraulic system including Brazil Creek, Buck Creek, and the winding Holi-Tuska Creek, which drains the terrain near Nubbin Ridge. These waterways and their associated basins suggest a history of agricultural and perhaps industrial utility, evidenced by the presence of Carter Lake and Swink Lake.

Local heritage is anchored by several long-standing landmarks, including Fair View Cemetery and the Nubbin Ridge Cemetery. The road network, featuring names like Midland Valley Rd and Race Track Rd, hints at historical transportation corridors and local pastimes. Further south, the community of Shady Point sits near the riverbanks, marking the southern extent of this settled corridor between the ridges and the river bottoms.
