2022 Map of Optima Dam

About this map

Beaver River and its associated wetlands dominate the landscape of the Oklahoma Panhandle in this modern survey of Texas County. The terrain is defined by the confluence of several vital watercourses, including Coldwater Cr and Dry Cr, which carve through the high plains. A grid of section-line roads such as Mile 45 Rd and Mile 50 Rd overlays the land, reflecting the persistent geometry of the Public Land Survey System. For genealogists and local historians, the map preserves the exact locations of the Mennonite Brethren Cem in the north and the Hardesty Cem further south, providing fixed points for family research in a sparsely populated agricultural region. The network of local routes like Road W and Spearman Rd connects these landmarks, illustrating the enduring spatial organization of rural life in this part of the plains.
