2010 Map of Goodwell NW

About this map

Beaver River meanders across this High Plains landscape in Texas County, defining the drainage patterns of a region primarily organized by a rigid section-line road grid. The confluence of Tepee Creek and the river creates a focal point in the central part of the sheet, where the watercourses deviate from the straight-line geography of the surrounding territory. This 2010 survey by the U.S. Geological Survey shows a sparsely populated area where large-scale land management is evident through the numbering of rural routes like Mile 21 and various county roads. The terrain is further etched by smaller tributaries such as Spring Area Creek, providing critical detail for those studying the hydrography and early 21st-century rural infrastructure of the Oklahoma Panhandle.
