About this map

The North Fork Red River snakes through this Beckham County landscape, defining the topography of the western Oklahoma plains in the late twentieth century. Centered around the town of Carter, the map illustrates a rural economy transitioning between traditional agriculture and modern energy infrastructure. A large Gas Storage Area and a complex Pipeline network dominate the northern and western sections, while the local community remains anchored by landmarks like Carter Cem and the Spring Creek Ch. To the south, the terrain known as Bettina is dissected by several watercourses, including Indian Creek, Flat Creek, and Boggy Creek. Evidence of earlier transport is visible in the Old Grade that parallels the modern rail line, offering a clear record of how the local transportation network evolved over several decades of field checks and aerial revisions.
