2022 Map of Cheyenne

About this map

Washita Battlefield National Historic Site and the surrounding high plains landscape define this region of western Oklahoma. The Washita River snakes through the northern portion of the quadrangle, where the Roger Mills County Courthouse stands as the center of the town of Cheyenne. Significant portions of the land are protected within the Black Kettle National Grassland, highlighting the area's conservation history and its return from the Dust Bowl era to managed prairie. The topography is etched by a dense network of drainage systems, including Sergeant Major Cr and Beaverdam Creek, which feed into the primary river valley. To the south, the settlement of Rosehill and the Cheyenne Cem provide specific points of interest for genealogists tracing family histories in these rural townships. The presence of the Mignon Laird Municipal Airport reflects the modernization of transportation in this primarily agricultural and pastoral territory.
