About this map

The Cimarron River meanders across this high plains landscape at the border of Oklahoma and Colorado, defining the drainage patterns of Cimarron County. This area of the Panhandle is characterized by a precise grid of rural section roads, including Co Rd 41, Co Rd 43, and Co Rd 45, which support the region's agricultural and ranching operations. The topography is largely defined by the river's path and several intermittent drainage features like Burrows Draw, which cuts through the northwestern portion of the map.

Land use is reflected in the extensive network of numbered rural routes such as E0035 Rd and N0370 Rd, showing a highly organized late-twentieth-century rural infrastructure. This 2012 survey provides a clear view of the sparse but steady settlement patterns of the Oklahoma-Colorado borderlands, where the landscape remains dominated by the natural curve of the Cimarron River against the rigid geometry of the county road system.
