About this map

Cavanal Mtn dominates the central landscape of this Le Flore County survey, casting a literal and figurative shadow over the developing city of Poteau. The western portion of the city is detailed here, showing the grounds of Carl Albert State College and the Le Flore County Courthouse. The terrain transitions from the high ridges of Terry Hill and the mountain slopes down to the alluvial plains of the Poteau River in the northeast.

Smaller settlements and historical focal points like Witteville, Shady Point, and Calhoun ring the mountain's base, connected by a network of rural roads such as Wolf Mountain Rd. For those researching family history, several burial grounds are documented, including Mountain Home Cem and Oakland Cem. The proximity of the Wolf Mountain Airport to these residential areas reflects the modern aviation infrastructure integrated into the traditional Oklahoma landscape.
