2010 Map of Reed

About this map

Reed serves as the central anchor of this southwestern Oklahoma landscape, positioned at a rural junction where the section-line road network meets. The area is defined by a dendritic drainage pattern of seasonal and perennial waterways that move across the plains, including the winding course of Sleepy John Creek and the headwaters of Sulphur Creek. A notable human modification of this hydrology is seen at the Kenneth Houck Dam, which impounds Deer Creek in the northern portion of the map. The map reflects a classic Great Plains agricultural grid, with named section roads like n1840 RD and e1450 RD providing a precise framework for the ranches and farms of Greer County. Other significant water features such as Station Creek, Smedley Creek, and the southern Mulberry Creek highlight the vital role of water management in this prairie environment.
