About this map

The Salt Fork Red River meanders across this corner of Harmon County, defining a landscape of wide river bottoms and seasonal drainage systems. The small settlements of Ron and Shrewder anchor the rural road grid, providing key reference points for local history in a region defined by its agricultural layout. These communities are connected by a network of section-line roads, such as e1530 RD and n1740 RD, that maintain the traditional land-use patterns of southwestern Oklahoma.

Water management is prominent on the landscape, with the Claude Seymour Reservoir and Danny E Hill Reservoir situated among the draws feeding into the larger river system. For genealogists and researchers, the location of the Tea Cross Cem near the western edge of the quadrangle offers a specific point of interest for tracing family roots in this prairie environment. The presence of Turkey Cr and Cave Cr further illustrates the complex local hydrology that has shaped settlement here since the early twentieth century.
