2010 Map of Baker Mountain

About this map

Baker Mountain and Buffalo Mountain anchor the southern elevations of this Latimer County landscape, where the terrain is defined by a series of prominent ridges and peaks. In this part of the Ouachita Mountains, drainage patterns are sharply dictated by the topography, with Buffalo Creek and Coopers Branch flowing through the southern valleys while North Gaines Creek and South Gaines Creek navigate the northern slopes. The map reveals a remote area with limited road infrastructure, primarily consisting of corridors like Bengal Rd and Laura McGee Rd that skirt the base of the mountains. Several distinctive landmarks provide points of interest for local history, including the curiously named Bear Suck Knob near Weber Mountain and Dripping Vat Mountain to the north. Smaller features such as Coopers Hollow and Baker Hollow indicate the localized family naming traditions common in this region of Oklahoma.
