Broken Bow Lake dominates this portion of McCurtain County, where the impounded waters of the Mountain Fork fill deep winding valleys. This 2013 survey reveals the complex shoreline created by the flooding of numerous tributaries, including Hudson Creek and Buck Creek. The surrounding terrain is defined by significant ridges such as Hee Mountain and Holly Mountain, which survived the inundation to overlook the modern reservoir. The map documents a wilderness landscape managed by the U.S. Forest Service, crisscrossed by specialized access roads like d1853 and 54160. Beyond the lake, the topography remains a network of creek drainages, from Boktuklo Creek in the north to the diverging branches of North Holly Creek and South Holly Creek further south. The map provides an essential record of the local hydrology and forest road infrastructure in the early 21st century.
