2020 Map of Mills East

About this map

The Mills settlement sits along the western edge of this landscape, serving as a primary point of reference in a region dominated by the protected expanses of the Kiowa National Grassland. This 2020 survey illustrates a high-plains environment where water is a defining feature, represented by scattered prairie lakes including Cochran Lake, Payton Lake, and Chicosa Lake. These catchments, along with terrain features like Kansas Valley and the Leonard Draw drainage, indicate the natural hydrology of this corner of Harding County. Local history is anchored at the Mills Cem, while the grid of rural routes such as Shaw Ranch Rd and Craft Ranch Rd provides a detailed look at contemporary access to remote ranching lands and public acreage.
