2012 Map of Aledo NE

About this map

The Canadian River winds through this section of Dewey County, defining a landscape of braided channels and shifting sandbars. This 2012 survey illustrates the rural nature of western Oklahoma, where the land is partitioned by a strict grid of county roads like n2210 RD and e0750. Located centrally near one of these intersections is the Raymond Cem, a key landmark for local genealogists and historians tracing the families who settled this prairie region. Surface water management is evident through features such as the Chain Number 3 Reservoir, which captures runoff from the surrounding drainage basins of Lone Cr, Sand Cr, and Sorter Cr. This map documents the persistent agricultural and ranching patterns of the area, where the vast majority of the terrain remains open land punctuated only by remote farmsteads and the intermittent flow of prairie creeks.
