People who grew up near Poteau remember the Le Flore County plat book as the book that named every farm. Below is how to track one down for Le Flore County, OK, and what the online map does better.
How to use the Le Flore County plat book
A plat book, sometimes called a land atlas, lists each township in Le Flore County as a page, with ownership blocks labeled by owner name and rough acreage. Don't confuse it with a subdivision plat on file for lots in Fanshawe; that recorded plat is a legal document, while the atlas is a reference.

For Le Flore County, the free public parcel layer is state-run: open the OKMaps (Oklahoma Office of Geographic Information) - Statewide Parcels layer and pan to Fanshawe. Use the search box for an address in Poteau or a parcel number, or simply zoom in and click a piece of ground near Fanshawe. If the official address for the Le Flore County, OK map ever changes, our directory page carries the current link for Poteau and the rest of the county.
Current and older editions
Private publishers have printed plat books for many rural counties, but editions for Le Flore County come and go; ask at the courthouse, the extension office or a farm supply store in Cameron. An old atlas can help trace when a piece of ground near Fanshawe split off from a larger farm.

Where Le Flore County land records are kept
The parcel layer for Le Flore County points back to recorded deeds and plats, kept by the county's recording office (its title varies by state). Easements and access rights near Poteau live in recorded documents, so read the deed, not just the county map.
What a plat book page lists near Bokoshe
Plat book pages for Le Flore County usually include an index of owners, so you can track down a family name near Poteau without knowing the township. Small parcels and town lots in Bokoshe are frequently too small to label on an atlas page, which is another reason the online map is better for them. If you use a plat book for hunting permission near Bokoshe, recheck the titleholder on the county map first.
Editions, deeds and printouts
