About this map

The waters of Deep Red Creek wind through the borderlands of Cotton and Tillman counties in this late-twentieth-century study of the Oklahoma landscape. The area is defined by a series of drainages, including the meandering Sanatag Creek, which feed into the larger river system. A primary landmark in the northern portion of the map is Ahpeatone Ch, serving as a focal point for the surrounding rural community.

Evidence of local resource extraction and flood control is visible through several Gravel Pits and a substantial Levee situated near a sharp bend in the creek. The centerpiece of the drainage basin is Whites Lake, which collects runoff from several smaller tributaries. This survey captures the region just after a period of aerial revision in the mid-1980s, documenting the precise configuration of agricultural field lines and water management infrastructure at that time.
