About this map

Washita Battlefield National Historic Site anchors the northern portion of this landscape, marking a significant 1868 encounter along the Washita River. Surrounding the community of Cheyenne is the Black Kettle National Grassland, a patchwork of protected prairie that reflects federal conservation efforts in western Oklahoma. The map reveals an intricate water management system characterized by numerous upstream flood control structures, including Sargeant Major Creek Site 6 Reservoir and Sandstone Creek Site 115 Reservoir, which dot the drainages of Plum Creek and Currant Creek.

Further south, the small settlement of Rosehill sits at the junction of local section-line roads, providing a glimpse into the rural community structure of Roger Mills County. The presence of the Mignon Laird Municipal Airport and the Cheyenne Cemetery north of the main townsite highlights the local infrastructure and genealogical points of interest. This terrain, defined by the winding paths of Beaverdam Creek and Brokenleg Creek, remains largely agricultural and open grassland.
