2018 Map of Dempsey

About this map

Black Kettle National Grassland dominates this landscape in Roger Mills County, where the plains are carved by a dense network of seasonal and permanent watercourses. The small community of Dempsey serves as a local anchor point, situated just south of the Dempsey Cem. This 2018 survey reveals a terrain defined by the headwaters of several drainages, including the branching arms of Croton Creek and East Croton Creek to the north, and Middle Buffalo Cr flowing through the southern sections. The map illustrates a strictly organized grid of rural roads, such as E 1030 Rd and N 1770 Rd, which navigate the various land management boundaries of the National Grassland. This area represents a characteristic portion of the Western Oklahoma prairie where public grazing lands and private holdings meet along the breaks of the Red River watershed.
