About this map

The Cimarron River carves a broad path across the landscape of Beaver and Harper counties, defining the topography of this corner of Oklahoma. The riverbed is flanked by a complex network of dry washes and gullies, many identified by systematic coordinates like Hollow N1620 and Hollow E0017, illustrating the intricate drainage patterns of the High Plains. To the south of the river, Devils Backbone rises as a prominent landmark, overlooking the valley and the confluence of tributaries such as Crooked Creek and Horse Creek. Local history is anchored by the Gate Cem in the southern portion of the quadrangle. The presence of the Courthouse Old Settlers Irrigation channel reflects the historical necessity of water management in this arid region, where small seasonal flows like Bullard Cr and W Fork Horse Cr dictated the early settlement and agricultural potential of the land.
