2010 Map of Mocane NW

About this map

The Cimarron River cuts across the northeastern corner of this Beaver County landscape, where the high plains of the Oklahoma Panhandle are defined by an intricate network of drainage hollows. Water management is a primary feature of this terrain, evidenced by a series of engineered catchments including the Xit Number 10 Reservoir, Eagon Number 1 Reservoir, and Xit Number 8 Reservoir. These reservoirs, held by structures such as the Xit Number 10 Dam and Eagon Number 1 Dam, suggest a cattle-ranching or agricultural economy reliant on seasonal runoff. The land is heavily dissected by numerous named hollows, such as Hollow E0030 and Hollow N1430, which feed south toward the Timber Creek drainage. This system of canyons and intermittent watercourses reveals the subtle but complex topography of the Mocane region at the start of the 21st century.
