2016 Map of Willow

About this map

The town of Willow serves as the central hub of this Greer County landscape, where the flat, grid-based agricultural plains meet distinctive geological features. To the west, the terrain is interrupted by the elevations of Haystack Mtn and a formation simply labeled The Haystack, both of which rise above the surrounding drainages of Haystack Cr. This area illustrates the late twentieth-century development of water management in Western Oklahoma, notably seen at the James Travis Reservoir. The map captures a transition in settlement patterns, from the organized streets of Willow, featuring Mayer Ave and Stepp Ave, to smaller outlying communities like Brinkman and Moravia near the Beckham County line. Local heritage is anchored by sites such as the Willow Cem and Brinkman Cem, which remain as permanent markers of the families who settled this prairie.
