About this map

Broken Bow serves as the focal point of this southeastern Oklahoma landscape, situated at the confluence of several key drainages. The town's layout is bordered to the west by the Crown Hill Cemetery and the rising elevation of the Broken Bow Lookout Tower. The hydrology of the region is defined by the Mountain Fork river and a network of creeks including Yanubbee Creek, Coon Creek, and Terrapin Creek. These waterways dictate the local topography and historical movement through McCurtain County.

Infrastructure in the early 21st century shows a mix of municipal development and natural features, such as the Broken Bow City Lake and its associated dam. Further east, the small settlement of Craig is connected via a grid of rural roads like Old Hwy 70 E. To the north, the terrain becomes more varied as it approaches Horseshoe Mountain, surrounded by the headwaters of the Middle Fork Yanubbee Creek and Beaver Creek.
