2016 Map of Keyes NE

About this map

The Cimarron River winds through this high-plains landscape, crossing the state line between Colorado and Oklahoma. This 2016 survey captures the borderlands of Baca County and Cimarron County, where the northern edge of the map encompasses a portion of the Comanche National Grassland. The terrain is defined by dramatic contour changes, particularly around Burrows Draw and the river valley, where the sparse vegetation and sandy riverbed typical of the Oklahoma Panhandle are evident. A rigid grid of rural roads, including N0370 Rd and E0035 Rd, provides access across the section lines of the Public Land Survey System. The map highlights the intersection of state boundaries and natural watercourses, illustrating how the river's path dictated early jurisdictional lines in this remote region.
