2012 Map of McKnight

About this map

The Salt Fork Red River meanders across the northern section of this landscape, defining the hydrology of a region where water management is central to the local economy. The presence of the Mary Kromer Reservoir and the Oklahoma State Fish and Wildlife Reservoir indicates a focus on conservation and water storage within Harmon County. The settlement of McKnight and the nearby McKnight Cem serve as focal points for local history and genealogy, anchored by a grid of rural roads such as R R RD and N 1700 RD. The terrain is further etched by seasonal drainage including Horse Cr, E Fork Sandy Cr, and Bitter Cr, which feed into the larger river system. This rural Oklahoma landscape, featuring the small settlement of Sandy, showcases the typical section-line road development characteristic of the Great Plains.
