2022 Map of Carter West

About this map

The North Fork Red River winds through the central Beckham County landscape, creating a distinct topographical corridor that defines the western approach to Carter. This settlement, established at a section corner where Broadway meets Main St, sits within a well-ordered grid of county roads such as E1230 Rd and N1940 Rd. The map illustrates the transition from the edges of Elk City in the northwest corner down to the rural plains marked by seasonal watercourses like Flat Creek and Spring Cr. Local genealogical history is anchored by the Carter Cem north of town and the Spring Creek Cem further south, providing specific points of interest for family researchers. The terrain reflects the classic agricultural layout of the Oklahoma plains, with sections divided by long-established section-line roads and the intermittent flow of the river system.
