2022 Map of Elk City SE

About this map

Elk City anchors the northwest corner of this agricultural landscape, where the prairie of Western Oklahoma is defined by a rigorous section-line road grid. The terrain is drained by a series of south-flowing waterways, including Elk Cr, Trail Cr, and George Cr, which carve subtle drainage patterns across the red-soil plains. Positioned along the border of Beckham Co and Washita Co, the map reveals a highly structured rural environment where local transport is facilitated by an extensive network of designated roads like E1140 Rd and N2090 Rd. This modern survey by the U.S. Geological Survey illustrates how the original Public Land Survey System continues to dictate the human geography of the region, with ranching and farming operations organized within the strictly maintained townships of t10n r20w and t9n r20w.
