About this map

Old Retrop and its neighbor Retrop anchor the southern portion of this landscape along the county line separating Beckham Co and Washita Co. The region is defined by a high concentration of water management features, specifically a series of flood control structures including Upper Elk Creek Site 13 Reservoir and Upper Elk Creek Site 40 Reservoir, which regulate the flow of Elk Cr and Trail Cr.

Small rural settlements like Port are scattered among the grid of local roads, such as e1250 RD and NS 206. The map provides valuable data for genealogists and local historians, documenting the exact locations of family and community resting places including Retrop Cem, Port Cem, and Clark Cem. The transition from the older townsite to the modern settlement of Retrop reflects the shifting rural geography of Western Oklahoma.
