2018 Map of Durham

About this map

Durham serves as a central point in this Roger Mills County landscape, which is characterized by the expansive holdings of the Black Kettle National Grassland. The southern portion of the map is defined by the winding course of the Washita River, which is fed by several tributaries including Turkey Creek and Trunk Creek. The terrain is marked by a distinctive grid of rural roads, such as Mathers Rd, that connect isolated homesteads and grazing lands. For genealogists, the map preserves the locations of local burial grounds like Fairview Cemetery in the northeast and Lindley Cemetery further south, providing essential markers for family history research in this western Oklahoma prairie. The distribution of Bkng parcels illustrates the patchwork nature of public and private land management typical of this region's agricultural and conservation history.
