1989 Map of Retrop

About this map

Retrop and Port anchor this Western Oklahoma landscape along the Beckham Co Washita Co boundary in the late 1980s. The region is defined by the diverging paths of North Elk Creek and South Elk Creek, where the local economy and geography are shaped by numerous Gas Wells and Oil Wells. A distinct shift in the townsite location is evidenced by the presence of Old Retrop to the south of the current settlement, a common occurrence in rural communities following changes in transportation or infrastructure. Genealogists will find several burial grounds across the plains, including Retrop Cem, Port Cem, and Clark Cem, which serve as quiet markers of the families who settled this prairie. The survey reflects a specialized industrial footprint through the presence of a notable Pipeline and a Drill Hole landmark, indicating active extraction efforts during this era.
