2022 Map of Medicine Lodge SW

About this map

The Medicine Lodge River carves a winding path through this corner of Barber County, defining the drainage patterns for the surrounding landscape. The area is characterized by the distinct topography of the Gypsum Hills, where elevation changes are marked by features like Twin Peaks. While the settlement of Forest City remains a central point of interest for local history, the map is largely defined by its network of rural roads and creek systems, including Bitter Cr, Cedar Cr, and Walnut Cr. These waterways dictate the placement of local connectors such as River Rd and Bitter Creek Rd, which follow the contours of the river valley. This survey reflects the enduring agricultural and ranching layout of the region, where section lines and township boundaries like t31s r13w organize the open terrain.
