There's an area now referred to as "Peno Bottoms" just southwest of the small town of Arkoma, OK(located just across the state line from Fort Smith, AR) in LeFlore County;I'm told there was once a town of PENO, apparently a thriving little community in its day ... cotton gin, stores, blacksmith, etc., whatever the farmers required at that time.It's located on Highway 9a, before 9a intersects with Hwy 271 going to Spiro, OK.
You might get additional information by writing to the staff at the Arkoma Library, Arkoma, OK 74901 -- they may have some additional information on the former town.
