About this map

The Cimarron River winds through the arid high plains of the Oklahoma-Colorado border, carving a landscape defined by deep drainages and named canyon systems. This 2012 survey captures the drainage patterns where Picture Canyon and Red Canyon meet the river valley, while further north the terrain is dissected by Athurs Canyon and the dual branches of West Squaw Canyon and East Squaw Canyon.

A sparse network of county roads, including Co RD 21 and Cord 24, provides the primary access through this borderland region. In the southeast corner, the seasonal flow of Cold Springs Cr adds to the complex hydrography. The map serves as a record of these enduring landforms and the limited infrastructure of the western Panhandle, useful for understanding the physical geography and ranching access routes of the early 21st century.
