2010 Map of Kenton SW

About this map

South Carrizo Creek winds through this arid landscape of the Oklahoma Panhandle, where the high plains meet the intricate drainage systems of Cimarron County. The topography is defined by the erosion of ancient sediment, carved out by seasonal waterways including Tesesquite Creek and Willow Creek. This 2010 survey by the U.S. Geological Survey shows a remote ranching region where the most significant landmark is Lake Carl Etling in the northeastern quadrant. The map reveals a sparse network of section-line roads such as D0035 Rd and N0080 Rd, reflecting the expansive, low-density land use characteristic of the High Plains. Geologists and local historians can trace the transition from the plateau down to the sandy bottoms of Swede Creek, highlighting the importance of water management and geography in this corner of the state.
