About this map

The Cimarron River winds through this arid section of Cimarron County, Oklahoma, defining a landscape shaped by intermittent watercourses and deep-cut drainage systems. In the early 21st century, this corner of the Panhandle remains primarily open ranching land, with the terrain marked by several named geographical depressions including North Picket House Draw, South Picket House Draw, and Nevitt Draw. These features, along with King Draw, serve as critical natural landmarks in a region where water management is paramount to the local agricultural economy. Small seasonal tributaries like Flagg Springs Cr feed into the river valley, while a sparse grid of section-line roads, such as N0320 Rd and E0070 Rd, provides access across the high plains and river bluffs of the Oklahoma-Colorado borderlands.
