2022 Map of Prentiss

About this map

The Prentiss settlement area in Beckham County is defined by the braided channels and wide wetlands of the N Fork Red River. This Western Oklahoma landscape is deeply etched by a network of drainage systems, including Little Turkey Cr and Buffalo Cr, which flow through the sectioned plains. The map illustrates a classic Great Plains surveying pattern, where a rigid grid of section roads like E 1150 RD and E 1200 RD overlays a complex natural topography of creek breaks and river bottoms. In the southern reaches, the Pioneer Cem sits near the intersection of the modern 152 highway and Interstate 66, providing a specific point of interest for genealogists tracking early families in this borderland region between the Washita and Red River watersheds.
