2010 Map of Shrewder

About this map

The Salt Fork Red River meanders across this rural Harmon County landscape, defining the hydrology of a region where small-scale water management is essential. At this point in the early 21st century, the area is characterized by a network of private and tri-county reservoirs, many named for local families. Features such as the Claude Seymour Reservoir, Danny E Hill Reservoir, and the Gracie Chambers Dam illustrate how individual landholders and local cooperatives have shaped the drainage of Turkey Creek and Cave Creek. Settlement is concentrated at Ron and the namesake Shrewder, while the Tea Cross Cemetery provides a primary point of interest for genealogists tracing the pioneer lineages of this southwestern Oklahoma cattle and farming country.
