1879 Map of Poteau Mountain

USGS Topo · Published 1879

About this map

Waldron sits at the heart of this survey, serving as a hub for the scattered settlements in this portion of Scott County. The landscape is defined by the east-west orientation of parallel ridges, including Chalybeate Mountain, Piney Mountain, and Ross Mountain, which channel the region's drainage into two distinct river systems. To the north, the Poteau River and its South Fork wind through the valleys, while the southern reaches are dominated by the Fourche La Fave River and the Clear Fork of Fourche. Rural life in the late 19th century is evident in the presence of Chalybeate Spring and small outposts like Boles, Winfield, and Blansett. The intricate network of small streams, such as Square Rock Creek and Prairie Creek, suggests a terrain where topography dictated the paths of early roads and homesteads between the steep gaps like Lockout Gap.
