2022 Map of Stephens Gap

About this map

Broken Bow Lake dominates the central landscape of this McCurtain County region, where the impounded waters of the Mountain Fork river create a complex shoreline of deep coves and timbered ridges. Within the protected expanse of the Ouachita National Forest, the topography rises sharply to landmarks such as Bee Creek Mtn, Ashford Peak, and the Devils Backbone. The settlement at Hochatown sits near the northern reaches of Hochatown State Park, while the southern end of the map traces the rugged river bend at Beaver Bend State Park, known for the steep Rattlesnake Bluff. This contemporary survey reflects the area's transition into a major recreation hub, with numerous local access points like Old Hochatown Rd and Carson Cr Rd providing entry to the dense forest and water-rich terrain that has long defined this corner of Oklahoma.
