About this map

The North Fork Red River snakes through the southern landscape of this Beckham County region, defining the local topography alongside its tributaries like Sadler Creek and Flat Creek. In the late 1980s, the area reflects a mix of agricultural and industrial utility, with Oil Wells and various Water Wells scattered across the plains. The town of Carter sits on the western edge, while the small settlement of Taylor marks the northeast corner.

Evidence of the region's earlier transportation network is found in the Old Railroad Grade running through the northwest, a key feature for those tracing historical corridors. Genealogists and local historians can locate the Poarch Cem in the eastern section of the map, situated among the undulating terrain labeled Poarch. This survey provides a clear view of a rural Oklahoma landscape where traditional water-dependent settlements meet the infrastructure of modern energy extraction.
