About this map

Washita Battlefield National Historic Site anchors the northern landscape of this Roger Mills County survey, marking the site of the 1868 encounter between the U.S. Army and the Southern Cheyenne. The town of Cheyenne is positioned just southeast of the historic site, where residential streets like Columbia Ave and Blaine Ave meet the open grasslands. This high-plains terrain is deeply etched by the Washita River and its numerous tributaries, including Sergeant Major Cr and Brokenleg Cr, which define the drainage patterns of the region.

Much of the surrounding territory is managed as the Black Kettle National Grassland (BKNG), shown in fragmented parcels across the quadrangle. The map details the local infrastructure supporting the community, from the Cheyenne Cem on the town's western edge to the Mignon Laird Municipal Airport. To the south, the settlement area of Rosehill sits amidst a network of section-line roads, illustrating the enduring grid of the Public Land Survey System in western Oklahoma.
