2012 Map of Whites Lake

About this map

Whites Lake serves as a central hydrological point in this Tillman County landscape, where the prairie is defined by a rigid section-line road network. The drainage patterns of Sanatag Cr and Deep Red Cr wind across the terrain, contrasting with the geometric precision of local routes like N2480 Rd and E1880 Rd. This 2012 survey illustrates the modern agricultural footprint of southwestern Oklahoma, where land use is dictated by these intermittent creek beds and the vast grid of rural roads. The map reveals the persistence of water-management features in a semi-arid region, showing how smaller tributaries feed into the larger system of Deep Red Cr. For the researcher or land historian, the document provides an exact record of property boundaries and infrastructure as they existed at the start of the decade.
