2016 Map of Bethel

About this map

Bethel and Sherwood serve as the primary focal points in this 2016 survey of northwestern McCurtain County, situated within the bounds of the Ouachita National Forest. The landscape is defined by the high elevations of Carter Mtn and an intricate drainage network including the E Fork Glover River and Pine Cr. Traces of local history are preserved at the Bethel Cem and Sherwood Cem, which provide specific points of interest for genealogical research in this rural timber and forest region. The map documents the persistent road and trail network used by the forest service and locals alike, such as Johny Beavers Trl and Baldwin Trl, which weave through the creek-cut terrain of Canyon Cr and N Carter Cr. This survey illustrates the modern intersection of established small settlements and the vast protected woodlands of southeastern Oklahoma.
