2016 Map of Panama

About this map

The winding Poteau River and the broad Poteau Valley dominate this survey of Le Flore County, where the landscape is defined by its transition from the heights of Nubbin Ridge to the alluvial lowlands. The settlement of Panama serves as a central hub, situated near the confluence of Buck Creek and Coal Creek. To the north, the town of Spiro borders the Garden of Memories Cemetery, while smaller rural locales like Ward, Bedwell, and Sunset Corner are scattered along a network of county roads such as Co Rd E1250. This era reveals a territory balancing agricultural land with numerous water bodies, including New Spiro Lake and Carter Lake. The map provides specific locations for local history researchers, noting the Fair View Cemetery and Nubbin Ridge Cemetery, which offer key markers of the area’s genealogical heritage.
