About this map

The Glass Mountains rise above the plains of Major County, Oklahoma, defining a landscape of mesas and buttes in a region dominated by agricultural section lines and seasonal drainage systems. This 2009 survey captures the rural character of the area, where the road network follows a strict grid of numeric routes like n2490 RD and e0490 RD. The presence of Cheyenne Valley Cemetery, Roscoe Cemetery, and Fairview Cemetery provides critical anchors for genealogists, marking the enduring locations of local community hubs amidst the shifting prairie.

Water management is a central theme of this terrain, with numerous small impoundments such as Edwards Lake and the Oknoname 093014 Reservoir regulating the flow of local tributaries. The intricate networks of Cottonwood Creek, Skunk Creek, and Gypsum Creek weave between the section-line roads, illustrating the natural drainage patterns that have shaped land use and ranching boundaries for generations in the Oklahoma heartland.
