1899 Map of Poteau Mountain

USGS Topo · Published 1919

About this map

Poteau Mountain dominates the northern horizon of this 1887 survey, marking the borderlands between Arkansas and the Indian Territory. The map documents a rugged landscape where the Poteau River and the Quachita River carve their paths through the dense Arkansas National Forest. Scattered homesteads and small communities like Cauthron, Blansett, and Boles suggest a frontier economy tied closely to the land and its timber resources. To the south, Dallas and Cherry Hill serve as local anchors within the Ouachita Mountains. The map reveals the intricate topographic barriers of Rich Mountain and Black Fork Mountain, highlighting the gaps and creek crossings, such as Eagle Gap and Haws Creek, that were essential for movement through these highlands during the late nineteenth century.
