2018 Map of Carter East

About this map

Poarch Cem sits near the crossing of E 1250 RD in a region defined by the winding course of the North Fork Red River in Beckham County. This area of Oklahoma is characterized by its systematic section line road network, including arterial routes like e1240 and e1270 RD, which stitch together the small settlements of Carter and Taylor. The landscape is etched by a series of drainage systems, notably Boggy Cr, Sadler Cr, and Flat Cr, which flow toward the larger river basin in the south. The proximity of these watercourses to the road grid illustrates the historical challenge of navigating the region's low-lying drainage areas, while the presence of local landmarks like the cemetery provides a fixed point of reference for family history researchers tracking early western Oklahoma residents.
