2019 Map of Hugo Dam

About this map

Hugo Lake dominates this Choctaw County landscape, its expansive waters formed by the construction of the Hugo Dam at the Kiamichi River. This 2019 survey documents the intricate shoreline and the surrounding rural communities that define the region northeast of the city of Hugo. The map provides significant detail for genealogists and local historians, capturing the locations of the Messer Cem and Dixon Chapel Cem, alongside smaller settlements like Messer, Sawyer, and Virgil. The hydrological network is well-defined, showing the paths of the N Fork Holly Cr, S Fork Holly Cr, and several smaller tributaries such as Dixon Br and Turnbull Cr. Access to the lake's recreational areas is noted through specific routes like the Hugo Lake Boat Access Rd and Hugo Lake Armadillo Rd, reflecting the modern infrastructure supporting the area's reservoir-based geography.
