About this map

Cimarron River winds through the heart of this high plains landscape, defining the topography of Cimarron County at the Oklahoma-Colorado border. This drainage network is characterized by a series of deep intermittent channels, including North Picket House Draw, South Picket House Draw, and Nevitt Draw, which funnel seasonal runoff toward the river valley. The northern edge of the map preserves a portion of the Comanche National Grassland, reflecting the region's managed prairie conservation efforts. Away from the river, the terrain is marked by a strictly organized grid of rural roads such as n0325 RD and e0050 RD, which service the agricultural allotments of the Panhandle. Small tributaries like Flagg Springs Cr and King Draw provide further detail for those studying the hydrology and land use patterns of this remote borderland.
