About this map

Black Kettle National Grassland dominates the northeastern corner of this Western Oklahoma landscape, showcasing the conservation-focused land use patterns typical of the late twentieth century. In this region of Roger Mills County, the terrain is marked by the drainages of Croton Creek and Meridian Creek, which cut through the Bowman and Meridian districts. The map reveals a working landscape where industrial development meets rural infrastructure, evidenced by an extensive network of pipelines, numerous gas wells, and the Petersen Landing Strip. Local history is anchored by the White Rose Cem and evidence of local resource extraction at the Shale Pit. This survey captures the intersection of public land management and private energy enterprise along the Texas-Oklahoma state line during the 1990s.
