About this map

Prentiss sits at the intersection of Oklahoma State Highway 152 and various section-line roads in this western Oklahoma landscape. The terrain is defined by the braided channels and wide sandy bed of the N Fork Red River, which cuts across the central portion of the quadrangle. This watercourse, along with tributaries like Buffalo Creek and Starvation Creek, has historically shaped the agricultural and settlement patterns of Beckham County.

Genealogists and local historians can locate the Pioneer Cem in the southeastern quadrant, a site that serves as a quiet marker of the families who settled this prairie region. The map also details the rural infrastructure of the early 21st century, showing the grid of roads such as E 1140 Rd and E 1200 Rd that partition the land into traditional township and range blocks, including t10n r25w and t9n r24w.
