2012 Map of Hough

About this map

Hough stands as a focal point in this portion of the Oklahoma Panhandle, situated within a landscape defined by an orderly grid of section roads and the intermittent drainage of the High Plains. The terrain is marked by the winding courses of Cow Cr., Goff Cr., and Little Goff Cr., which break the geometric precision of the agricultural layout. These ephemeral watercourses suggest the environmental challenges of the region, where water management and road placement are dictated by the subtle topography of the plains. Local history and genealogy interests are centered on two primary sites in the eastern half of the quadrangle: Lee Cem and Trinity Lutheran Cem. The presence of these burial grounds, alongside the network of county routes like Co Hwy-23 and Co Hwy-7, provides a record of rural community organization in Texas County during the early 21st century.
