2016 Map of Razor Blade Mesa

About this map

Razor Blade Mesa and Winchester Mesa dominate the high plains landscape where the Oklahoma Panhandle meets Colorado. This 2016 survey shows a region defined by its geology, with the Cimarron River cutting a wide path through the center, joined by tributaries such as Cold Springs Creek and Ute Canyon Cr. The settlement of Castaneda sits at a crossroads in the southern portion of the map, while the northern edge marks the transition into the Comanche National Grassland across the state border. For local history, the map identifies the Garrett Cem and infrastructure like the Gaylor Eed Reservoir. The landscape is etched with deep drainage features including Coal Springs Canyon, Ute Canyon, and Aubrey Canyon, illustrating the erosive force of water in this semi-arid environment.
