2018 Map of Crawford

About this map

Black Kettle National Grassland dominates the southern half of this landscape, preserving a vast expanse of shortgrass prairie ecosystem in Roger Mills County. The small community of Crawford sits near the center of the sheet, serving as a landmark in a terrain defined by a complex network of drainage creeks including Dugout Cr, Cornell Cr, and Dead Warrior Cr. These waterways generally trend southward toward the Washita River, which cuts across the southwestern corner of the quadrangle. Local genealogy and land-use history are anchored by features such as Sunrise Cem and the prominent Twin Hills. The map details the transition from high plains to the river breaks, with Spring Creek Lake providing a significant water resource within the public grasslands, reflecting the area's ongoing importance for both conservation and traditional ranching.
