1968 Map of Poteau West

USGS Topo · Published 1979

About this map

Cavanal Mountain dominates the central landscape of this Oklahoma survey, surrounded by a patchwork of industrial and rural activity during the late 1960s. The regional coal-mining legacy is clearly visible through numerous strip mines, a Shale Pit, and several drill holes scattered from Bokoshe in the northwest down toward Smacker. To the east, the city of Poteau serves as a hub of development, featuring the Poteau Community College and several educational landmarks like Simpson Sch. The mapping of small settlements such as Witteville, Calhoun, and Sorrela provides essential context for family historians, particularly when paired with local landmarks like Mountain Home Cem and Cedar Grove Ch. Transport networks of the era are well-defined by the Kansas City Southern and St Louis-San Francisco railroads, which helped facilitate the movement of resources through this corner of Le Flore County.
