About this map

Hammon serves as the primary hub in this western Oklahoma landscape, situated at the junction of the Washita River and White Shield Creek. The area is characterized by a sophisticated network of water management features, including numerous soil conservation structures such as Hughes Dam, the H S Judy Dam, and several numbered sites like Nine Mile Creek Site 11 Dam. These engineering works highlight the 20th-century transition toward intensive watershed management to support the region's agricultural economy.

Beyond the river valleys, the map details the rural infrastructure of Roger Mills County, centered on a grid of county roads such as E 0920 RD. Local history and genealogy are anchored by the Barker Cemetery located west of Ninemile Creek. The convergence of Quartermaster Creek, Hay Creek, and Dry Branch north of the township provides a clear view of the drainage patterns that have historically dictated the placement of homesteads and transport routes in this section of the plains.
