About this map

The North Fork Red River meanders southward through the center of this Oklahoma landscape, carving a wide path between the agricultural townships of t9n r23w and t9n r22w. To the northeast, the small community of Carter is established on a grid of streets including Main St and Madison Ave, adjacent to the Carter Cem. The surrounding territory is defined by a systematic network of section-line roads, such as E1230 Rd and E1240 Rd, which provide access to rural homesteads and several significant tributaries.

Genealogists and local historians can locate the Spring Creek Cem further south, positioned near the drainage of Spring Cr. While the southeastern corner of Elk City appears in the northwest, the majority of the map focuses on the river-bottom lands and the intermittent creeks like Indian Cr and Flat Cr that feed into the Red River system, illustrating the enduring spatial organization of Beckham County's ranching and farming tracts.
