2016 Map of Flying Creek

About this map

The Canadian River cuts through the northern reaches of this Oklahoma landscape, defining the jagged border where Ellis and Roger Mills counties meet. This terrain is characterized by a dense network of seasonal drainages, including the eponymous Flying Creek, Powwow Creek, and Red Creek, which have carved intricate contours into the high plains. The map reveals a strictly regulated rural grid system, with roads such as N2000 Road and E0730 Road providing access to isolated points of interest. Notable for genealogists and local historians are the Center Chapel Cemetery and Shirley Cemetery, which serve as quiet markers of the families who settled this portion of western Oklahoma. The boundary line between Roger Mills and Dewey counties also runs through the eastern portion of the survey, highlighting the administrative divisions of this sparsely settled region.
