About this map

Knowles sits near the southern edge of this Beaver County landscape, where the flat plains of the Oklahoma Panhandle are deeply incised by the drainage systems of the Cimarron River. The river itself creates a broad, braided path across the northern half of the map, fed by numerous seasonal waterways including Taintor Creek, Cottonwood Creek, and Kidds Cr. This environment is defined by a dense network of named hollows, such as Hollow N1556 and Hollow E0025, which illustrate the complex erosion patterns common in this semi-arid region.
