1989 Map of Bull Creek

About this map

The Elm Fork Red River snakes through the southern portion of this landscape, marking a significant hydrologic feature in this corner of Western Oklahoma. The region is characterized by a network of drainage systems, including North Elm Creek, Bull Creek, and Fish Creek, which carve through the terrain near the Texas border. Historical industrial and conservation footprints are evident with the inclusion of the Salt Works near the river and the Sandy Sanders State Wildlife Management Area to the east. For those tracing local genealogy or land use, the Vanherson Cem and the labeled districts of Dabney, Madge, and Jester provide essential markers of earlier settlement patterns and community identification during the late 20th century. A specialized Gas Field further indicates the subterranean economic activity of the era.
