2022 Map of Elmwood

About this map

The small community of Elmwood serves as the focal point of this high-plains landscape in Beaver County, Oklahoma. This modern survey illustrates the enduring township-and-range grid system that defines the region's agricultural and social organization, with roads like Ew-29 and NS-138 forming the primary skeleton for travel across the terrain. While the landscape is characterized by its broad expanses, the drainage patterns of Duck Pond Cr and S Fork Clear Cr introduce significant topographical variation, carving numerous named features such as Hollow E0330 and Hollow N1350 into the plains. Genealogists and local historians will find the Kirby Cem located south of the main settlement, providing a critical reference point for family history in this corner of the Panhandle. The map captures the intersection of ranching infrastructure and natural watercourses that have historically dictated the placement of homesteads and crossroads in this arid environment.
