2012 Map of Balko

About this map

The small unincorporated community of Balko serves as the focal point for this section of Beaver County, Oklahoma. Situated in the High Plains of the Panhandle, the landscape is defined by a strictly surveyed grid of county roads and intermittent stream beds that cut through the terrain. To the south, Pleasant Hill Cem provides a vital genealogical reference for local families in this agricultural region. The drainage patterns of the area are visible through several significant waterways, including the winding course of Willow Cr in the west and Dugout Cr further east. In the southern reaches, the N Fork Clear Cr moves through the landscape near the intersection of several section-line roads, illustrating the organized land division typical of the region's late-twentieth-century development.
