2009 Map of Eddy

About this map

The Salt Fork Arkansas River carves a broad, meandering path across the southern half of this landscape, defining the local geography alongside the intermittent flows of Deer Creek and Thompson Creek. The land is organized by a precise grid of rural roads, including W North Ave and Oakland Rd, which serve a territory defined by agricultural use and resource extraction. Evidence of the region's petroleum history is centered at the Thomas Oil Field, while local genealogy is anchored at the New Hope Cemetery in the northwest. To the north, water management is visible through small-scale infrastructure such as the Oknoname 071018 Reservoir and its associated Oknoname 071018 Dam. This survey documents a quiet rural corner of Oklahoma where the river remains the dominant natural feature amidst a human-imposed grid.
