About this map

The Glover River meanders through the heart of the Ouachita National Forest in this McCurtain County survey, revealing a landscape defined by sharp elevation changes and deep drainages. Numerous peaks dominate the southern half of the sheet, including Bear Mtn, Grapevine Mtn, and the Cedar Mountains. The terrain is etched with dozens of named hollows such as Meat Hollow and Lebow Hollow, which suggest a long history of local naming conventions tied to specific geographical niches.

Transportation in this part of Oklahoma is primarily limited to forest roads and the track of Old State Hwy 98 in the southwest corner. The map provides a detailed record of the region's hydrography, from the larger Glover River to smaller tributaries like Whisky Br and Horse Head Cr. Notable landmarks for local history include Burks Springs and Burks Hollow, which preserve family names within the national forest boundary.
