2022 Map of Minnow Creek

About this map

Minnow Creek flows through a dissected landscape of red-dirt drainage basins along the southern border of Beckham County. This modern survey illustrates the persistent section-line road grid that defines the Oklahoma prairie, where routes like N1760 Road and E1330 Road provide the primary access to cattle-grazing land and rural homesteads. The terrain is defined by the headwaters of several drainages, including Fish Creek in the west and Deer Creek in the east, which carve intricate contour patterns into the plains. The southern margin of the map traces the political boundary with Greer County, showing how the land was organized into townships like t7n r25w and t7n r24w. This quadrangle is primarily an agricultural and hydrological study, documenting the small seasonal streams like Root Creek that feed into the larger regional watershed.
