About this map

Black Mesa State Park anchors the northwestern corner of this landscape in the Oklahoma Panhandle, where the High Plains meet distinctive mesas. The area is defined by a network of drainage systems, most notably Cold Springs Cr, which meanders across the southern half of the quadrangle. Highlighting the region's managed water resources, Lake Carl Etling serves as a prominent landmark near the western boundary, fed by the seasonal flows of Swede Cr. The terrain is surveyed through a grid of rural routes including n0080 RD and d0100 RD, reflecting the expansive and open character of Cimarron County. This mapping by the U.S. Geological Survey captures the isolation and drainage patterns that dictate the placement of roads and recreational sites in this part of the state.
