2016 Map of Plainview

About this map

Plainview and Jester serve as the primary focal points of this southwest Oklahoma landscape, situated just south of the Beckham Co Greer Co line. The map captures a largely agricultural and ranching environment defined by a grid of rural roads and the meandering courses of Haystack Cr and Station Cr. For genealogists and local historians, the inclusion of Plainview Cem and Jester Cem provides specific points for tracing family histories in these small communities. The terrain is marked by significant natural landmarks, most notably Haystack Mtn in the east, which rises above the surrounding drainage basins of Deer Cr. Further south, the settlement of Bloomington sits near the edge of the survey area, reflecting the sparse but steady distribution of population across the plains during the mid-2010s.
