Hochatown’s End as Dam Floods Hidden Choctaw Town
The Broken Bow Dam project swallows Hochatown in Mc Curtain County Oklahoma. The 4252 foot rock fill dam will flood 14200 acres and reshape the Mountain Fork region by 1968. Residents linger amid ruins and church and store structures while utilities and post office fade away. The reservoir will hold 1 368 000 acre feet, offering power and flood control.
