2022 Map of Mackie

About this map

Black Kettle National Grassland dominates this section of Roger Mills County, creating a patchwork of protected prairie and public lands. The landscape is defined by the winding course of the Washita River, which flows through the northern and eastern portions of the quadrangle. This area reflects a mid-century legacy of land conservation following the Dust Bowl era, where eroded agricultural tracts were reclaimed and managed as part of the National Forest System. The small settlement of Mackie sits central to the map, situated near the confluence of local drainages like Rush Cr. The terrain is deeply incised by drainages such as Camp Hollow and Croton Cr, illustrating the erosive power of water in this semi-arid environment. A dense network of section-line roads, including N 1750 Rd and E 950 Rd, provides access to the dispersed ranching and conservation units across the rolling plains.
