2022 Map of Summerfield

About this map

The Ouachita National Forest anchors the southern portion of this region, where the rugged terrain of Yellow Spring Ridge and Horseshoe Ridge gives way to the wetlands surrounding Wister Lake. The northern landscape is defined by a series of parallel ridges, including Goat Ridge and the prominent Sulphur Spring Mtn, which frame the valley corridors of Caston Creek and Cedar Cr. Small communities like Summerfield and Fanshawe are connected by a network of rural routes, while the eastern edge is marked by the meandering Poteau River. Significant local landmarks such as Goats Bluff and the family history sites of Summerfield Cem and Maxey Cem provide specific points of interest for those exploring the social and physical geography of this corner of Oklahoma. The transition from timbered ridges to the alluvial systems of Fourche Maline highlights a landscape balancing forest conservation with local habitation.
