About this map

The settlement of Mayfield anchors this survey of Beckham County, where the plains of western Oklahoma meet the winding course of the N Fork Red River. The landscape is defined by a series of significant water management features, including the Cow Creek Site 7 Reservoir, Cow Creek Site 6 Reservoir, and Cow Creek Site 4 Reservoir. These man-made impoundments sit alongside natural drainage systems like Sweetwater Cr and Little Turkey Cr, illustrating the region's efforts to manage water resources in an arid climate.

Local history is preserved at the Mayfield Cem and the nearby Tittle Bridge, which provides a crossing over the braided river channels. A grid of section roads, such as N 1740 RD and E 1160 RD, reflects the traditional township and range system that organized this agricultural territory. The confluence of Salt Cr and W Buffalo Cr further shapes the terrain, creating a complex network of creeks and draws that fed into the Red River system.
