2012 Map of Oklahoma Flat

About this map

Yellow Lake and Illusion Lake dominate the central basin of this West Texas landscape, surrounded by the wide-ranging draws and windmills characteristic of the Llano Estacado. The settlement of Oklahoma Flat is situated amidst a rigid grid of rural roads such as Farm-to-Market Road 1490 and Cheyenne Rd. This area reflects a long history of ranching and resource extraction, anchored by the Yellow House Ranch and the southern Yellow House Oil Field. The reliance on groundwater is evident through scattered landmarks like Rye Straw Windmill, East Windmill, and South Pasture Windmill, which served the local cattle industry. The terrain is marked by seasonal drainage features including Bull Draw and Goat Draw, showing the subtle topography of the High Plains before modern irrigation further transformed the region.
