1977 Map of Poteau East

About this map

The eastern edges of Poteau and the surrounding Le Flore County landscape are documented here in late 1970s detail through rectified aerial imagery. This orthophotoquad reveals the intricate, winding course of the Poteau River as it meanders through the western half of the map, carving out oxbows and floodplains that contrast sharply with the rectangular grid of rural property lines. This hybrid format allows for a clear view of land-use patterns, showing the transition from the town's expanding footprint to the agricultural fields and wooded drainage of Nail Creek. Further east, the small community of Gilmore sits amidst a patchwork of timber and cleared acreage, illustrating the dispersed settlement style typical of the region's river valleys during this era.
