2011 Map of McGraw Mountain

About this map

The settlement of Joplin sits at the heart of this landscape, surrounded by the significant terrain of the Ouachita Mountains and the expansive waters of Lake Ouachita. The map details a complex shoreline featuring Denby Point and numerous inlets fed by watercourses like Gap Creek and Irons Creek. Local history is anchored by several burial sites, including Little Fir Cemetery to the north and Joplin Cemetery near the town center. The area's character is defined by its recreational and forest management infrastructure, visible in the Hickorynut Lookout Tower and multiple camping facilities such as the Joplin Campground and Camp Clearfork. To the south, the topography rises into named peaks like McGraw Mountain, Crystal Mountain, and Bashaw Mountain, while the southern reaches show the Camp Clear Fork Reservoir and its associated Camp Clearfork Lake Dam.
