1899 Map of Poteau Mountain

USGS Topo · Published 1942

About this map

Poteau Mountain and the surrounding ridgelines of the Ouachita National Forest dominate this late 19th-century landscape along the border of Arkansas and the Choctaw Nation. The map captures a moment when the rugged terrain of the Ouachitas was dotted with remote post offices and small river valley settlements. At Waldron, the county seat of Scott County, the East Fork and the Poteau River system provide the primary corridor for movement, while the south reveals the early layout of Dallas and Potter near the Quachita River. Historical details include the Indian Territory Arkansas boundary line, marking the edge of the Choctaw Nation before statehood, and distinctive local landmarks like Pilot Knob and Shut-In Mountain. Researchers can trace the network of old routes such as the Trail winding through the gaps of Rich Mountain and Black Fork Mountain.
