About this map

Broken Bow serves as the focal point of this Oklahoma survey, showing the town's street grid and its position as a gateway to the wooded uplands of the Ouachita National Forest. The landscape is defined by the complex drainage of the Yanubbee Cr system, with its East, West, and Middle Fork Yanubbee Cr tributaries converging near the settlement. To the northeast, the Mountain Fork river cuts through the terrain, while Horseshoe Mtn rises above a network of smaller streams including Fish Fry Cr and Slate Br.

Local history is preserved in the location of several burial grounds, such as Crown Hill Cem on the western edge of town and the isolated Oka Achukma Cem to the east. The presence of the Broken Bow City-Lake and the unnamed 089096 Reservoir reflects the managed water resources central to this region of McCurtain County, illustrating the balance between residential development and the surrounding timberlands.
