1985 Map of Garden Valley

About this map

The Prairie Dog Town Fork Red River carves a wide path through this borderland, where the terrain of Childress County meets the Oklahoma state line. The landscape is defined by the erosion of significant tributaries including Buck Creek, Settlers Creek, and Soldiers Creek, which feed into the river's broad valley. Small settlements and rural landmarks provide evidence of the area's mid-century development, notably Garden Valley and the settlement of Olympus. Genealogists may find particular interest in the Olympus Cem, located on a rise above the river basin. The map also documents the practical infrastructure of the high plains ranching and resource economy, showing several Gravel Pits, a network of pipelines, and a Corral situated near the headwaters of Whites Creek.
