About this map

The Elk City Oil Field dominates the central landscape of this Beckham County region, where industrial development and agricultural grids converge. Evidence of early settlement remains at the Bellview Cemetery and Ural Cemetery, standing as landmarks of local genealogy in a township defined by a network of rural roads such as BK K and n1977 RD.

Water management is a defining characteristic of this terrain, anchored by the Elk City Reservoir in the northeast. Numerous flood control structures, including the Upper Elk Creek Site 22r Dam and Upper Elk Creek Site 27 Dam, follow the natural drainage patterns of Indian Creek, Sadler Creek, and West Elk Creek. These engineering features highlight the efforts to stabilize the watershed of the western Oklahoma plains.
