1998 Map of Cheyenne

About this map

The Washita River valley dominates this western Oklahoma landscape, a region deeply tied to 19th-century history. In the northern portion of the map, the Battle of the Washita Historical Marker commemorates a pivotal conflict between the U.S. Army and the Southern Cheyenne. Much of the surrounding area is protected as part of the Black Kettle National Grassland, where the Black Kettle Ranger District Office manages the vast shortgrass prairie terrain.
