2012 Map of Clear Lake

About this map

Clear Lake serves as the central focal point for this section of the Oklahoma Panhandle, where the high plains are carved by a network of drainage systems. The landscape is defined by the winding paths of Duck Pond Cr and Sand Cr, which provide topographical relief against a strictly organized grid of rural section roads. This 2012 survey illustrates the enduring agricultural layout of Beaver County, where nearly every mile is demarcated by numbered routes like E0180 Rd and N1480 Rd. The intermittent nature of watercourses such as Mexico Cr highlights the arid character of the region, showing how early settlement patterns were dictated by the availability of surface water and the subsequent implementation of the Public Land Survey System.
