About this map

The winding course of the Poteau River and the complex hydrology of The Cutoff and the Lost Poteau River define this portion of Le Flore County. Located east of the regional hub of Poteau, the landscape is a network of creek drainages including Nail Cr and Riddle Cr that feed into the river valley. The map documents the persistent layout of small rural communities like Neff, Gilmore, and Cameron, which sit alongside a grid of county roads and family-named landmarks such as Vaughn Cem.

Modern aviation infrastructure is represented by the Robert S Kerr Airport south of the main settlement. The terrain transitions from the river bottomlands toward higher ground at Durant Hill Rd and the southern slopes near Sugarloaf Cr. This detailed 2022 survey provides a clear view of how decades of road development, from Possum Valley Rd to Stallion Rd, have integrated with the natural watercourses of the Oklahoma-Arkansas borderlands.
