About this map

Palo Duro Creek meanders through the heart of this Texas County landscape, carving a wide valley across the high plains of the Oklahoma Panhandle. This area is defined by the small settlement of Range, which serves as a quiet local hub for the surrounding ranching and agricultural lands. North of the community, Range Cem offers a primary point of interest for genealogists tracing family histories in this part of the state.

The hydrology of the region is notably complex, with several drainage systems converging here. To the north, Webb Lake provides a rare perennial water feature, while seasonal flows are managed by Hackberry Cr, Cottonwood Cr, and Sand Draw. The map meticulously records the grid of rural roads, such as Co HWY 14, that connect these isolated homesteads and pastures, illustrating the enduring settlement patterns of the modern Oklahoma plains.
