1989 Map of Retrop SE

About this map

The North Fork Red River carves a significant path through this southwestern Oklahoma landscape, marking the natural boundary between Kiowa and Greer counties. By the late 1980s, this area reflects a landscape dedicated to both conservation and resource extraction. The southern portion of the map is dominated by the Altus-Lugert State Wildlife Management Area, where the river feeds into the northern reaches of Lake Altus. This riparian corridor contrasts with the surrounding uplands, which are characterized by the township and range grid common to the Great Plains. Industrial activity is evident through numerous extraction points, including a prominent Oil Well and several other labeled Well sites, while a lone Radio Tower stands on the higher ground of the northeast, serving as a modern navigational landmark amidst the rural terrain.
