About this map

The Kansas-Oklahoma border defines the rugged southern plains landscape where Meade and Beaver counties meet. This high plains region is carved by the winding channels of Crooked Cr and Fivemile Cr, which dictate the local topography amidst a strict rectilinear grid of rural routes such as Z Rd and Aa Rd. The presence of the Kleine Gemeinde Cem in the north and the Butler Cem further east provides concrete evidence of the area's early 20th-century settlement patterns, reflecting the community heritage of the Mennonite and pioneer families who established homesteads in these borderlands. The network of section line roads, including Bb Rd and Ee Rd, reveals how the landscape was systematically organized for agriculture and ranching, preserving a spatial layout that has remained remarkably consistent over the decades.
