About this map

The Cimarron River winds through this arid section of Cimarron County, cutting a prominent path through a landscape defined by its network of drainage draws. This high plains terrain is sculpted by seasonal water movements, evidenced by features such as North Picket House Draw, South Picket House Draw, and Nevitt Draw. The presence of Flagg Springs Creek feeding into the main river channel highlights the critical role of surface water in this expansive Oklahoma territory. Human activity is represented by a strict grid of section-line roads, including E0040 Rd and N0350 Rd, which facilitate ranching and land management in this sparsely populated region. This map illustrates the intersection of a rigid agricultural surveying system with the fluid, irregular geography of the High Plains drainage basins.
