2012 Map of Manitou

About this map

The town of Manitou serves as the focal point for this Southwest Oklahoma landscape, situated where the high plains meet a intricate drainage network. The grid of the settlement is clearly defined by streets like Palmer Ave and 2nd St, reflecting its role as a regional center for the surrounding agricultural tracts. To the southeast, the expansive Lake Frederick dominates the topography, its shoreline reached by local routes such as Curtis Cove Rd. The hydrology of the area is particularly complex, defined by the winding paths of Deep Red Creek and its various tributaries, including W Fork Deep Red Creek and the ominously named Coffin Creek. For genealogists, the N Deep Red Cemetery provides a specific point of interest for tracing family ties to this corner of Tillman County. The map captures a moment of modern transition where traditional section lines and rural roads like E1670 Rd interface with these natural waterways and modern impoundments.
