2022 Map of Grimes

About this map

The settlement of Grimes sits in the high plains of western Oklahoma, marking the transition between Roger Mills and Beckham counties. This 2022 survey illustrates a landscape defined by an extensive grid of section roads and a network of seasonal watercourses. Genealogists can locate several remote burial grounds, including Brookside Cem near the headwaters of Middle Buffalo Cr and Buffalo Cem further south. The drainage patterns of Buffalo Cr and Starvation Cr dictate the local topography, while man-made features like the Shirley Thompson Reservoir and McLaury Number 2 Reservoir indicate contemporary water management in this agricultural region. The map provides a precise record of the section-line road system, featuring routes such as N 1750 RD and ew107 RD that connect the scattered rural homesteads of the panhandle borderlands.
