2018 Map of Stephens Gap

About this map

Broken Bow Lake dominates this portion of McCurtain County, where the reservoir branches through the timbered ridges of the Ouachita National Forest. The landscape is defined by the sharp relief of peaks such as Ashford Peak and Hochatown Mtn, while the Mountain Fork river winds below the prominent Devils Backbone and Rattlesnake Bluff. This 2018 survey captures a region heavily shaped by recreation and forestry, showing the expansion of settlements near Hochatown and the established boundaries of Beavers Bend State Park. Local landmarks like Arnet Gap and Fivemile Hollow provide specific points of interest for those tracing the historical geography of these highlands, while numerous creek drainages including Bee Cr and Nancy Br reveal the intricate hydrology that feeds the central lake.
