2012 Map of Russell

About this map

Salt Fork Red River meanders across this rural Greer County landscape, defining the hydrology of a region where water management is central to the local geography. The area is marked by a series of significant water control projects, including the Tri County Turkey Cr Site 4 Reservoir and Tri-County Turkey Cr Site 15 Reservoir, which illustrate the modern infrastructure required to support agricultural life. The settlement of Russell anchors the southeastern portion of the quadrangle, serving as a hub for the surrounding farmstead grid. For those tracing family histories in the area, several burial sites are documented here, including Wildcat Cem and Langford Cem situated near the river, as well as the Russell Cem located just west of the town center. The rigid road network, including routes like N 1840 RD, underscores the organized section-line development characteristic of western Oklahoma.
