1899 Map of Poteau Mountain

USGS Topo · Published 1899

About this map

Waldron and the surrounding Arkansas river valleys were documented in the late 19th century as a complex landscape of ridges and developing settlements. The Boundary Line between Arkansas and Indian Territory (specifically the Choctaw Nation) bisects the western portion of the sheet, reflecting the political geography prior to Oklahoma statehood. Significant drainages like the Poteau River and the Ouachita River carve through the prominent elevations of Poteau Mountain and Rich Mountain. Local community centers such as Dallas, Blansett, and Cauthron serve as anchor points in a region dominated by these parallel ridges. The map also records early post offices and hamlets, including Cherry Hill (Egger P.O.), offering genealogists a primary source for locating family homesteads before modern road networks transformed the Ouachita foothills.
