2011 Map of Cheyenne

About this map

Cheyenne serves as the regional hub in this part of western Oklahoma, situated just north of where the Washita River cuts across the landscape. The town is flanked by public service sites including the Black Kettle Ranger District Office and the Black Kettle Forest Service Facility, reflecting the area's significance to land management. To the south, the smaller settlement of Rosehill anchors the corner of a landscape defined by an extensive system of water management. Numerous flood control structures, such as Sargeant Major Creek Site 6 Dam and Sandstone Creek Site 114 Dam, are scattered along the tributaries like Sergeant Major Creek and Currant Creek. This network of small dams and reservoirs indicates a landscape heavily engineered to manage the flow of prairie streams into the larger river basin. Local landmarks like the Cheyenne Cemetery and Mignon Laird Municipal Airport provide specific points of interest for genealogists and local historians.
