Broken Bow Lake dominates the central topography of this Oklahoma landscape, its northern reaches winding through the timbered ridges of the Ouachita National Forest. The map documents a complex drainage network that feeds the lake, including the confluence of Hee Cr and Buck Cr below the slopes of Hee Mtn. The terrain is characterized by prominent high points such as Holly Mtn and Little White Oak Mtn, which define the rugged intervals between creek valleys. To the south, Sand Springs Bend marks a significant curve in the shoreline near Bull Creek Mtn. This survey captures the area's transition into a major regional reservoir, illustrating how the inundation transformed former stream beds like Panther Br and Cane Cr into deep-water inlets, fundamentally altering the local geography of McCurtain County.
