About this map

The southern edge of Broken Bow and the surrounding timberlands of McCurtain County are detailed here during a period of modern forest management and recreation. The Little River meanders across the central landscape, accompanied by a network of wetlands and minor tributaries like Yanubbee Cr and Crooked Cr. This area, partly contained within the Ouachita National Forest, features a distinct system of recreational paths including the Lizard Slough Trail, Buzzard Roost Trail, and Nine Mile Eddy Trail, illustrating the region's focus on the outdoors.

Local history and genealogy are anchored by rural communities such as Shults, Redland, and Hill Chapel. Evidence of early settlement is preserved at the Redland Cem, located just north of the Mud Cr drainage. The map also documents the local infrastructure serving these timber-rich lowlands, from Chicken House Ln to more remote paths that trace the shifting waters of Deeberry Lake and the various sloughs that define this river valley terrain.
