2016 Map of Felt

About this map

The high plains of the Oklahoma Panhandle define this landscape, where the small community of Felt serves as a lone hub of settlement along the highway. To the south and west, the terrain is dominated by the Rita Blanca National Grassland, a conservation area established to restore the shortgrass prairie after the Dust Bowl era. The map reveals the characteristic grid of the section-line roads, including N0090 Rd and E0310 Rd, which cut through the open rangeland. Water is a scarce but defining element here, with the Beaver River and the ephemeral Aqua Fria Cr winding through the grasslands. These drainages provide subtle topographic relief in an otherwise expansive horizon, indicating the vital role of water management in this arid ranching and conservation corridor near the Texas border.
