2022 Map of Black Bear

About this map

Black Bear sits at the center of this Noble County landscape, where the prairie topography is defined by the extensive watershed management of the Black Bear Cr. The area is densely packed with water control structures, including Upper Black Bear Cr Site 74 Reservoir and Upper Black Bear Cr Site 9 Reservoir, reflecting the long-term regional commitment to soil conservation and flood mitigation in the Oklahoma grasslands. These reservoirs are interspersed among a grid of section-line roads with evocative names like Old John Deere, New Moon, and John Wayne.
