2017 Map of Rardin Hill

About this map

Kiowa National Grassland dominates this high-plains landscape where the borders of Oklahoma, New Mexico, and Texas converge. The terrain is defined by the winding course of Seneca Creek and the broad Seneca Valley, punctuated by isolated water features such as Murphy Lake and Golden Lake. The rural character of the region is evident in the sparse infrastructure, primarily comprised of section-line roads like Seneca Rd and Boot Hill Rd. Near the center of the sheet, Creeds Chapel Cem stands as a quiet marker of early settlement history, while the namesake Rardin Hill rises above the surrounding plateau. To the south, the landscape transitions through Goodin Draw toward Apache Valley, reflecting the specialized cattle-ranching and conservation land use typical of the Panhandle. Fragments of the Rita Blanca National Grassland also appear along the eastern edge, underscoring the federal management of these arid grasslands.
