About this map

Headquarters Mtn and Walsh Mtn rise above the town of Granite, characterizing the distinct granite-outcrop topography of this Greer County landscape. The settlement at Granite is organized on a grid of streets including W Mountain Ave and Normal Ave, positioned just south of the high peaks and east of Armstrong Cr. Further southwest, a portion of Mangum appears at the edge of the survey, defined by its own grid including E Cleveland St and E Tyler St.

The Elm Fork Red River meanders across the southern portion of the quadrangle, joined by smaller tributaries like Tittle Cr. Local history and genealogy are preserved at the Rock Cem and Lutheran Cem, while Horseshoe Lake suggests the old river-oxbow patterns of the drainage basin. This 2012 record captures the area's rural road network, defined by a strict section-line grid of roads like n2010 RD and e1440 RD that navigate the varied terrain.
