2010 Map of Grimes

About this map

Brookside Cemetery, Buffalo Cemetery, and Wayland Cemetery anchor this rural Roger Mills County landscape, providing essential points of reference for genealogists tracing family roots in western Oklahoma. The terrain is defined by the branching drainage systems of Middle Buffalo Creek and Starvation Creek, where numerous small-scale water management projects are visible. Named landmarks like the Shirley Thompson Dam and Fuchs Dam indicate a reliance on localized reservoirs, such as the Shirley Thompson Reservoir, to support the agricultural needs of the region. The map also records the exact positioning of the McLaury Number 2 Reservoir and the Oknoname 129009 Dam, reflecting the land use patterns and water infrastructure necessary for Oklahoma's high plains ranching and farming operations during this era.
