About this map

Old Glory Mountain and the surrounding Sulphur Mountains dominate this 1980s landscape in McCurtain County, Oklahoma. The settlement of Hochatown sits at the southeastern edge of the map, adjacent to the shores of Broken Bow Lake and Hochatown State Park. The terrain is defined by a dense network of drainage systems, including the headwaters of Lukfata Cr and Yashau Creek, which flow southward out of the steep highlands.

Evidence of local resource extraction and early naming conventions appears throughout the topography. Several Shale Pits and a Gravel Pit are marked in the southern reaches near Colbert. Notable water sources like Brigham Young Springs and Government Spring highlight the historical importance of reliable water in this upland region. The map also records distinctive landmarks such as the Hairpin bend in the road near Sulphur Creek, offering a detailed view of the area's transition from high peaks like West High Peak to the developed recreational areas near the lake.
