About this map

The Cimarron River winds through this high-plains landscape on the border of Oklahoma and Colorado, carving a wide valley through the arid terrain. The map documents a rugged network of drainage systems, including Athurs Canyon and North Canyon in the western reaches. The intersection of these natural features with rural infrastructure is marked by a sparse network of county roads such as d0181 RD and d0169 RD.

Geographical interest centers on the distinct canyon formations that break the plateau, such as Picture Canyon and the parallel paths of West Squaw Canyon and East Squaw Canyon. These names reflect the local history and descriptive naming conventions of the Cimarron County panhandle region. The lack of concentrated settlements highlights the remote, ranching-oriented character of the area at the start of the 21st century.
