2012 Map of Carter West

About this map

Carter serves as the primary settlement on this landscape, its grid of streets such as W Main St and 3rd St anchoring the northeastern corner of Beckham County. The terrain is defined by the winding course of the N Fork Red River, which snakes through the central portion of the map, fed by tributaries like Indian Cr and Flat Cr. For those researching local family history, several burial sites are documented, including the Carter Cem just north of town and the more isolated Spring Creek Cem further south. The map illustrates a strictly organized rural section-line road system, where routes like N 1910 Rd and E 1240 Rd cross the river valley to connect outlying agricultural areas to the town center.
