About this map

Springer and the surrounding ranchlands of Carter County are defined by a complex network of water management features and energy extraction in this 2010 study. The landscape is crisscrossed by several named waterways, including Henry House Creek, Caddo Creek, and Grindstone Creek, which are regulated by an extensive series of numbered dams such as Caddo Creek Site 12 Dam and Caddo Creek Site 27 Dam. These structures suggest a concerted effort toward flood control and irrigation within this rural cattle-producing region, evidenced by the Noble-Sea Cattle Company Dam.

Industrial activity centers on the Caddo Pool Oil Field, while local history is preserved at the Rice Cemetery near Glenn. The terrain transitions from the natural landmark of Henry House Falls in the northwest to the more developed ranching and petroleum corridors. This survey provides an exact record of local infrastructure, from the path of Buzzard Creek to family-named roads like Potee Rd and Deese Rd, illustrating the intersection of natural hydrology and Oklahoma's rural economy.
