About this map

The Cimarron River winds across this northern Oklahoma landscape, carving a wide path through the prairie terrain in Beaver County. The region is defined by an intricate network of drainage systems, including Taintor Creek, Cottonwood Creek, and Kidds Creek, many of which flow through the numerous named hollows that mark the local topography. Human modification of the water table is evident in the central portion of the map, where the Barby Sargent Number 1 Dam and Barby Sargent Number 3 Dam create significant water storage at the Barby Sargent Number 3 Reservoir. Near the southern boundary, the Knowles Cemetery serves as a primary point of interest for genealogists and local historians tracking the early families of this high plains community. The survey detail shows the persistent importance of ranching and land management in the Panhandle, with property lines and rural access roads following the section-line grid typical of the Western frontier.
