About this map

The Red River defines the southern boundary of this Oklahoma landscape, where the confluence of several major tributaries shapes the local geography. Significant water management infrastructure is evident throughout the quadrangle, notably the large Waurika Lake and its associated Waurika Dam. Further south, the Oknoname 067002 Reservoir and the Japanese Beaver Lake Dam illustrate the complex network of small reservoirs and dams built to control the flow of Beaver Creek and its branches as they move toward the Texas border.

Settlement patterns center on the town of Waurika in the southeast and Hastings in the northwest, connected by a grid of rural section-line roads such as N 2730 Rd and E 1950 Rd. The Jefferson County Airport and the Waurika Cemetery serve as important local landmarks for those researching regional infrastructure or family genealogy in this part of Jefferson County. The terrain is further defined by the winding paths of Saline Creek, Whiskey Creek, and Cow Creek, which crisscross the agricultural plains.
