About this map

Bally Mountain and the surrounding peaks of Kiowa County define this landscape, where the modern management of Oklahoma's water resources meets the region's early rural heritage. The terrain is marked by a sophisticated network of flood control structures, including the Saddle Mountain Site 11 Reservoir and several numbered sites along Saddle Mountain Cr, illustrating how the drainage of Pecan Cr and Stinking Cr has been modified.

For those tracing family history, the Green Valley Cem sits as a lonely landmark among the section lines and foothills of Zodletone Mtn and Longhorn Mtn. The map highlights a transition from the elevated peaks to the lower reservoir basins, reflecting a mid-2010s view of a ranching and agricultural landscape shaped by both the natural topography and the engineering of the Soil Conservation Service's legacy.
