2011 Map of Griggs

About this map

Griggs anchors this portion of Cimarron County in the Oklahoma Panhandle, a landscape defined by its rigorous sectional grid and agricultural character. The territory shown represents a classic high plains rural settlement pattern, where long-distance routes like Co Hwy 53 and Co Rd 11 intersect with a dense network of local section-line roads. Many of these thoroughfares, such as N0532 Rd and N0510 Rd, serve as the primary conduits between isolated homesteads and the central hub at Griggs. This map captures the region at a time when traditional ranching and farming remained the economic foundation, evidenced by the scattered dwellings and stock tanks dispersed throughout the grid. The geometric precision of the roadway system, including N0540 Rd and N0537 Rd, illustrates the enduring influence of the Public Land Survey System on the western Oklahoma landscape.
