2022 Map of Dempsey

About this map

Black Kettle National Grassland dominates this landscape in western Oklahoma, where protected prairie lands interlace with private ranching tracts. The terrain is defined by the headwaters of several drainages, including Croton Creek and East Croton Creek in the north and Middle Buffalo Cr in the south. These creek beds carve through the undulating plains, creating a network of riparian corridors that contrast with the surrounding high ground. The small settlement of Dempsey serves as the primary human landmark in this rural area, situated near the intersection of N 1770 RD and E 1030 RD. Nearby, the Dempsey Cem provides a point of interest for genealogists and local historians tracing the families who settled this part of Roger Mills County. The map also records the Croton Creek Trl, showing how public lands are utilized for recreation within the national grassland.
