2010 Map of Harmon NW

About this map

Buzzard Creek and its subtle drainage network define this section of the High Plains in western Oklahoma, where the landscape is organized by an exacting section-line road grid. The map reveals a highly structured rural environment dominated by long-distance county roads like E 0530 Rd and N 1860 Rd. This intersection of topography and geometry illustrates the late 20th-century agricultural footprint, where nearly every square mile is accessible by a planned thoroughfare. The drainage patterns of Little Wolf Creek in the northwest and Mosquito Creek in the southwest break the rigid grid, indicating the natural draws that once guided early settlement and cattle movement before the modernization of the road network.
