2010 Map of Lake Creek

About this map

The North Fork Red River meanders through the northern reaches of this Greer County landscape, defining a rural Oklahoma geography shaped by agriculture and energy extraction. The settlement of Lake Creek serves as a central point for the surrounding farmsteads, which are connected by an orderly grid of section line roads. In the northwest, the Moravia Oil and Gas Field indicates the industrial footprint of the region's petroleum history. To the south, the terrain shifts significantly as the Granite Mountains rise above the plains. Local history is anchored at the Pleasant Valley Cemetery, a significant site for genealogical research in this part of the state. The namesake Lake Creek drainage system threads across the southern half of the quadrangle, eventually reaching the river to the north.
