2016 Map of Deer Creek

About this map

Deer Creek and the surrounding plains of Grant County are defined by a rhythmic grid of country roads and the winding paths of several prairie streams. The local topography is carved by the Big Antelope Cr and its counterpart, Little Antelope Cr, which meander through a landscape of section lines and isolated rural burial grounds. These small cemeteries, including Saint Marys Cem in the north and Bayard Cem to the south, provide critical landmarks for genealogists and local historians tracing the families who settled this part of Oklahoma. In the western reaches of the survey, the settlement of Numa sits along the road network near Deadman Cr. The map captures a quintessential agricultural layout where early 21st-century infrastructure follows the original township and range system, preserved alongside watercourses like Polecat Cr and Elm Cr.
