About this map

The Glover River winds through this corner of McCurtain County, carving a series of named hollows through the timberland. Along the riverbanks, established outposts like Dierks Camp and Camp Glover speak to the region's long-standing connection to the lumber industry and outdoor life. The terrain is defined by prominent peaks including Bear Mtn, Chinquapin Mtn, and Grapevine Mtn, creating a landscape where water and topography dictate the path of travel.

Several springs, such as Burks Springs and Cold Springs, provide vital water sources for the many creeks that feed the main river system. Local history is etched into the landscape through descriptive place names like Black Sulphur Hollow, Shorty Cox Hollow, and Whisky Br. This 2013 survey provides a detailed view of the rural road network, including the Opah Trl, as it existed before the continued expansion of modern forestry and conservation management.
