2016 Map of Blackjack Ridge

About this map

Ouachita National Forest blankets the high ridges and deep hollows along the Latimer and Le Flore county border in this 2016 survey. The terrain is defined by significant elevations like Winding Stair Mtn and Buffalo Wallow Mtn, which tower over a network of seasonal drainages including Hodge Creek and Cedar Creek. The landscape transition from the heights of Blackjack Ridge down into Crusher Hollow and Compton Hollow reveals the complex topography of the Ouachita Mountains. While largely forested, the map identifies localized developments such as the Flying Ranch Number 1 Reservoir and a network of secondary routes like Holson Valley Road and Blackjack Ridge Drive. Local history is reflected in several named landmarks, including Henry G Mountain and Rattlesnake Mountain, marking specific points in this heavily wooded region of southeastern Oklahoma.
