About this map

The Cimarron River winds through this high plains borderland, cutting across the state line between Colorado and Oklahoma. This arid landscape is defined by its dramatic mesas and canyons, most notably Razor Blade Mesa and the prominent Sugarloaf Mtn. The terrain reveals a complex network of dry creek beds and canyons, such as Ute Canyon and Coal Springs Canyon, which drain toward the river valley.

Settlement is sparse in this portion of the Comanche National Grassland, with the community of Castaneda positioned near the southern edge of the survey. Local history is anchored by sites like Garrett Cem, while the rugged geography is further detailed by features like Winchester Mesa and Aubrey Cr. A network of rural roads, including n0277 RD, provides access to the isolated ranchlands and mesas that characterize this Cimarron County region.
