About this map

The Cimarron River winds through the northern High Plains on this modern survey, marking a distinct topographical transition where the flat upland prairie drops into a network of canyons and drainage systems. This landscape is defined by its deep draws, including North Picket House Draw and South Picket House Draw, which channel seasonal runoff toward the river valley. The map documents the intersection of Cimarron County, Oklahoma, and Baca County, Colorado, where the Comanche National Grassland protects a portion of this arid ecosystem. A sparse but systematic grid of section roads like e0050 RD and n0300 RD provides access to ranching lands and remote water features such as Flagg Springs Cr. The presence of numerous named drainages like Nevitt Draw and King Draw highlights the vital role of water management and natural drainage in this cross-border environment.
