Broken Bow Lake serves as the dominant feature of this terrain in McCurtain County, flooding the deep valleys where the Mountain Fork and its numerous tributaries once carved through the landscape. This 2016 survey illustrates the extensive reach of the Ouachita National Forest, which blankets the high ridges and steep drainages of the Oklahoma backcountry. Several named peaks rise above the water line, including Hee Mtn, Holly Mtn, and Little White Oak Mtn, providing a clear record of the vertical relief that characterizes this corner of the state. The complex shoreline is marked by prominent features like Sand Springs Bend and the inlets formed by Hee Cr, Buffalo Creek, and Hudson Cr. While human structures are sparse, the map documents the intricate network of forest roads and trails that navigate the land between these waterways and the high summits like Bull Creek Mtn.
