About this map

Bally Mountain and Zodletone Mountain anchor this landscape in Oklahoma’s Kiowa County, where the terrain is defined by isolated peaks and an extensive network of managed water resources. The area is marked by a sophisticated system of flood control and agricultural water management, evidenced by several numbered impoundments including Saddle Mountain Site 10 Dam and Saddle Mountain Site 5 Dam. These structures manage the flow of Saddle Mountain Creek and Pecan Creek as they wind through a grid of rural section roads.

Local heritage is preserved at the Green Valley Cemetery, while the presence of private aviation facilities like Ferrell Ranch Airport and Jennings Ranch Airport reflects the logistical needs of large-scale ranching operations in this part of the state. The map also traces the path of Stinking Creek near Longhorn Mountain, illustrating a topography where every drainage and rise is named and utilized.
