2018 Map of Big Kiowa Creek

About this map

The Washita River meanders through the northwest corner of this Western Oklahoma landscape, defining the northern reaches of a region characterized by deep creek drainages and section-line roads. Near the northern border, the town of Hammon serves as a local hub, while the small settlement of Carpenter sits near the eastern boundary. The terrain is etched by the intricate paths of Big Kiowa Cr, Little Kiowa Cr, and White Shield Cr, which carve through the plains and create a complex system of draws and ridges. For those tracing family histories or early land ties, several burial sites are documented across the townships, including Red Hill Cem east of Hammon, the centrally located Kiowa Cem, and Carpenter-Cem near the southern boundary. The map clearly delineates the convergence of several county lines, including the borders of Roger Mills, Custer, and Beckham counties.
