2018 Map of Panama

About this map

The Poteau River and its complex wetlands dominate this 2018 survey of LeFlore County, where the landscape transitions from the southern edge of Spiro down toward the city of Poteau. The town of Panama serves as a central hub, situated near the confluence of Coal Creek and Buck Creek. This area's topography is defined by the east-west orientation of Nubbin Ridge and the winding course of Brazil Creek. Local history is preserved through numerous rural burial grounds, including the Garden of Memories Cem and Nubbin Ridge Cem. The map illustrates a landscape shaped by water and transport, with the Midland Valley Rd and Co RD e1270 traversing the river valley. The presence of New Spiro Lake and Carter Lake alongside the river's meandering oxbows reflects the region's managed hydrography and agricultural drainage patterns.
