2016 Map of Ripley

About this map

Ripley serves as the focal point of this Payne County landscape, positioned along the northern banks of the Cimarron River. The 2016 survey reveals a complex water management system characterized by numerous reservoirs, including Stillwater Cr Site 1 Reservoir and Stillwater Cr Site 55 Reservoir, which dot the drainage basin of Stillwater Creek. To the north and east, the small settlements of Mehan and Ingalls anchor rural corridors defined by an extensive grid of section-line roads. Local history and genealogy are preserved in sites like Oak Park Cem and Mount Hope Cem, while the Allen Williamson Bridge provides a key crossing over the river. The terrain is marked by distinctive features such as Ghost Hollow and the southeastern reach of Cushing Lake, illustrating the varied topography of this Oklahoma river valley.
