About this map

The Ouachita National Forest dominates the terrain of this McCurtain County region, where the E Fork Glover River and its numerous tributaries like Pine Cr and Beeman Cr carve through the foothills. Small settlements are established along the primary routes, notably Bethel, Sherwood, and Mount Herman, each serving as a focal point for the surrounding forest landscape. The topography is defined by significant rises such as Carter Mtn, while the network of forest roads and trails, including Phone Line Trl and Johnny Beavers Trl, indicates the ongoing management and recreational use of the timberlands.

Local history is preserved at the Bethel Cem and Sherwood Cem, providing important touchstones for genealogical research in this part of southeastern Oklahoma. The drainage patterns of Little Pine Cr, N Carter Cr, and Mud Cr illustrate the complex watershed of the Glover River system, which remains one of the few free-flowing rivers in the state, largely unaffected by major impoundments in this specific quadrangle.
