2010 Map of Carter East

About this map

Poarch Cemetery sits near the crossing of section-line roads in this rural stretch of Beckham County, where the landscape is defined by the winding course of the North Fork Red River in the south and the drainage of Elk Creek to the north. The township of Carter occupies the western edge of the quadrangle, serving as a focal point for the surrounding agricultural grid. Water management is a visible priority across this terrain, marked by the presence of the Upper Elk Creek Site 19 Dam and Upper Elk Creek Site 20 Dam, which regulate the intermittent flows of the local prairie creeks. The map illustrates a highly organized rural infrastructure, where an extensive network of named roads, such as n1960 RD and e1250 RD, provides access to individual farmsteads and rural properties, tracing the late 20th-century development of Oklahoma's western plains.
