Elk City and the small settlement of Hocker anchor this Western Oklahoma landscape in the mid-2010s, where the prairie is defined by a sophisticated water management system. The map documents a network of flood control structures along the upper reaches of Elk Creek, including Upper Elk Creek Site 22 Reservoir, Upper Elk Creek Site 25 Reservoir, and Upper Elk Creek Site 28 Reservoir. These reservoirs, along with Lake Elk City, illustrate the essential role of artificial impoundments in this semi-arid region.
