2010 Map of Carter West

About this map

The settlement of Carter stands at the eastern edge of this Beckham County landscape, where the town's street grid meets the open agricultural plains of western Oklahoma. This 2010 survey illustrates a highly structured section-line road system, including E 1230 Rd and N 1940 Rd, which segments the territory into distinct blocks used for ranching and farming. Winding through these rectilinear boundaries is the North Fork Red River, which meanders across the center of the sheet and is joined by several tributaries such as Flat Creek and Spring Creek. Just northwest of the town center, the Carter Cemetery provides a significant touchstone for genealogical research and local history. The map also records numerous specific survey blocks, labeled with identifiers like BK W and BK Z, reflecting the meticulous land management and surveying history of the Oklahoma territory.
