About this map

Ripley and the surrounding Payne County countryside are defined by the winding course of the Cimarron River and its numerous tributaries. By the early 21st century, the landscape reflects a complex hydrological network featuring various flood control structures like Stillwater Creek Site 55 Reservoir and Stillwater Creek Site 2 Reservoir. These sites, along with Little Stillwater Cr and Deer Cr, dominate the drainage patterns of the area.

Small settlements such as Mehan and Ingalls remain connected by a grid of rural roads and highways, including State Highway 51 and State Highway 108. Local history is anchored by several established burial grounds, notably Oak Park Cem near Ripley and Mt Hope Cem further north. In the southeast, the terrain transitions toward Cushing Lake, while the evocative Ghost Hollow lies just north of the river, preserving the traditional place names of this central Oklahoma region.
