2010 Map of Irish Flats

About this map

Cimarron River meanders across the southern portion of this landscape, defining the hydrology of a region where water and land have a distinctive relationship. The area is characterized by open plains and named terrain features such as Skunkie Arroyo, which provides a natural drainage pattern toward the river. Centered on the upland plateau is Irish Flats, a label indicating a specific topographical or historical locality within this sparsely developed part of Beaver County. In the north, Shorts Creek cuts through the terrain, further illustrating the drainage systems that have shaped the land use and accessibility of the Oklahoma panhandle. This survey records a snapshot of the high plains before further modern modifications, documenting the essential watercourses and local names that defined the territory at the start of the decade.
