About this map

The town of Cheyenne serves as the focal point of this western Oklahoma landscape, situated just south of the Washita River. As the county seat of Roger Mills, the town site includes vital civic infrastructure such as the Courthouse, Post Office, and the Cheyenne Cemetery. The surrounding terrain is characterized by the expansive Black Kettle National Grassland, where numerous watercourses including Sergeant Major Creek and Brokenleg Creek cut through the plains.

Evidence of the region's industrial and transportation history is visible in the Old Railroad Grade running parallel to the river and a widespread Gas Field dotted with numerous Gas Wells. This survey reflects a late 20th-century balance between traditional prairie ranching land, municipal development like the Mignon Laird Airport, and the intensive energy extraction that defines much of the local economy.
