About this map

The Poteau River winds through this section of LeFlore County, feeding the expansive waters of Wister Lake and passing through the Wister Dam. This landscape is defined by its water management and agricultural grid, where small settlements like Glendale and Independence are connected by a network of county roads. To the north, the town of Wister serves as a local hub, while Howe sits to the east near Shadwick Lake.

Genealogists and local historians will find significant detail in the placement of the Hoteyaby Cemetery and McCurtain Cemetery, which are preserved alongside family-named landmarks like Potts Mountain. The map also captures the managed hydrology of the era, from the small Gaither Lake to the distinct landform of Quarry Isle within the reservoir. This topography illustrates the intersection of natural river valleys with modern infrastructure during the early 21st century.
