2012 Map of Plainview

About this map

Plainview and Jester occupy the heart of this Western Oklahoma landscape, where the flat agricultural terrain is defined by a rigorous grid of section-line roads. The area is drained by a series of south-flowing waterways, including Station Cr and Deer Cr, which carve subtle paths through the prairie. In the eastern reaches of the quadrangle, Haystack Mtn rises as a prominent landmark above the surrounding plains. For genealogists and local historians, the map documents the centers of community life in this rural stretch of Greer County, from the southernmost settlement of Bloomington to the critical local burial grounds at Plainview Cem and Jester Cem. The naming of northern water features like Haystack Cr further ties the local hydrology to the area's distinctive topography.
