1989 Map of Lake Creek

About this map

North Fork Red River cuts a wide, serpentine path through the northern landscape of this 1989 survey, where the borders of Beckham, Greer, and Kiowa counties converge. The terrain transitions from the alluvial plains of the river valley to the more varied elevations of the Granite Mountains and the landform known as Dill. This area is defined by a dense network of energy and agricultural infrastructure, evidenced by numerous Gas Wells, Oil Wells, and a prominent Windmill. The small settlement of Lake Creek sits near the namesake waterway, accompanied by vital local utilities like a Radio Tower and Substation. For genealogists, the Pleasant Valley Cem provides a specific point of interest for tracing family history in this rural Oklahoma landscape. The presence of a Quarry and scattered water tanks further underscores the region's reliance on both extractive industry and ranching during the late 20th century.
