2016 Map of Charlie

About this map

The community of Charlie is situated in a bend of the Wichita River in Clay County, serving as a hub for a network of country roads that trace the agricultural and school district history of the area. The landscape is defined by the winding course of the river and the presence of several water bodies, including Byers Lake to the northeast and the paired industrial reservoirs of Petrolia Lake Number 1 and Petrolia Lake Number 2 to the southeast. Locally named landmarks like Pumpkin Ridge and Hay Cr provide topographic context to this North Texas terrain. Genealogists and local historians can trace legacy land use through thoroughfares such as Fleming School Rd, Upper Garner Rd, and Doyle Edwards Rd, which reflect the family names and rural institutions that shaped the settlement pattern of this river valley.
