2010 Map of Greendailey Canyon

About this map

Pinon Ridge defines the western edge of this remote high-plains landscape in the Oklahoma panhandle, where a network of deeply incised drainages provides the primary topographic character. Life and industry in this arid region center on critical water resources such as Escondido Springs and Chet Springs, along with vital ranching infrastructure like the Pinon Windmill and Morledge Windmill. The map reveals a complex system of canyons, including Greendailey Canyon and Huff Canyon, that channel seasonal runoff toward Tesesquite Creek. These natural corridors have historically dictated the placement of roads, as seen with Canyon Road and various county routes like County Hwy B-061, which follow the contours of the land rather than a strict cardinal grid. The reliance on scattered springs and windmills underscore the challenges of settlement in this part of Cimarron County.
