2022 Map of Balko

About this map

The settlement of Balko serves as the central point for this high-plains landscape in Beaver County, located at the intersection of several significant local arteries including CE Law Rd and various east-west routes like Ew 26. The topography is defined by a dendritic network of drainage channels, most notably Willow Creek and Elm Creek, which carve subtle relief into the agricultural grid. This 2022 survey illustrates the enduring patterns of rural Oklahoma land management, where section lines dictate the road network and habitation remains sparse and focused around community nodes. For local historians and genealogists, the Pleasant Hill Cemetery near the southern edge of the quadrangle provides a vital link to the families who settled this portion of the Panhandle. The landscape is also etched with numerous local hollows, such as Hollow E0260, marking the low-lying areas between the upland plains.
